Top prospect of the NFL draft Travis Hunter said his intentions for his recruit season – he intends to play for a team that will use it on both sides of the ball. While some NFL coaches have expressed reservations about being a professional star in a professional level, a coach seems to believe that it is possible.

Stefanski added that Hunter “is someone who is only equipped to do both”.
