One of the most compelling one-on-one matchups across the entire 2023-24 college football season included two New England Patriots draft prospects in Travis Hunter versus Tetairoa McMillan.
For Hunter, playing both cornerback and receiver on November 11, 2023, for the Colorado Buffaloes, he recorded five catches for 74 yards. Often lined up across from McMillan, defensively, the Heisman Award winner logged six total tackles, five solo takedowns, a tackle for loss, and a pass breakup.
On that Saturday afternoon, despite facing arguably the most gifted cornerback in college football on many snaps, McMillan put together nine catches for 107 yards and a touchdown.
