Travis Hunter has a message for the NFL teams who would only want it to play on one side of the ball, be it the cornerback or the wide receiver.
Hunter, 21, won the Heisman trophy after dominating the competition as a wide receiver and cornerback. When asked if an NFL team should tell him that he could only play one position, Hunter said he preferred not to play at all.
“He never plays football again,” Hunter told CBS Sports last week. “Because I have done it all my life, and I like to be on the football field. I have the impression of being able to dominate on each side of the ball, so I really like to do it.”
