The Double Senstar in Travis Hunter is the number two choice of the NFL draft.
The Jacksonville jaguars selected Hunter Thursday evening after exchanging until Global Choice No. 2 with the Browns of Cleveland. Jacksonville abandoned the overall choice n ° 5, their second and fourth choice this year, and their first round choice next year, to go up and take Hunter.
Hunter should play on both sides of the ball, as he did at the University of the University of Colorado.
Hunter has achieved an average of more than 100 snaps per game in his last season with Colorado in the middle of his quest to change the program, alongside Sheder and Deion Sanders.

But he is not only a double -sense player – he is a double -sense superstar.
As a wide receiver, Hunter had 92 catches for 1,152 yards and 14 affected in total. Hunter won the Biletnikoff Prize as the best receiver in the country.
Hunter also won the Bednarik Prize as the best defensive player in the country, becoming the first player to have won Bednarik and Biletnikoff.
In a corner, Hunter had 31 plated, 11 passing deviations and four interceptions, anchoring the defense of Colorado.
Hunter and the quarter-Arrière Sheder Sanders led Colorado to a 9-3 file, and the team failed to make the Big 12 championship match.
Hunter was able to live his NFL draft dream with his father, who was authorized to travel to Green Bay despite his sentence to a year of home detention.

Hunter will jump into a defensive secondary in Jacksonville alongside Tyson Campbell and Darnell Savage as a cornerback. In attack, Hunter will also seek to contribute as a wide receiver alongside Brian Thomas Jr. for the quarter-Arrière Trevor Lawrence.

However, some have argued that Hunter should prioritize the cornerback and leave the wide receiver as more reflection after the fact.
The former NFL wide receiver and triple Super Bowl champion, Ed McCaffrey, previously told PK Press Club Digital than Hunter was more precious as a cornerback, and does not expect Hunter to play on each attack and defense of the pros, which Hunter has often done at university.
“Personally … I think that at the moment, it offers greater value to the corner position, I don’t see any scenario where it does not leave the field in the NFL, I do not think it is possible. Perhaps for a game or from time to time, you can play a large number of shots in the NFL, but in the long term, I don’t think you can hold on,” said McCaffrey.
“It is different at university when you are considerably better and more physically gifted than the guys against which you face. When you arrive at the NFL, there is not as much gap in talent.”
Hunter himself rejected the idea of playing only one position in the NFL.
The next recruit said that he “would never play football again” if he had told him coaches to focus only on the cornerback or the wide receiver.
“He never plays football again,” said Hunter before CBS Sports. “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.”
