Why Travis Hunter MUST choose defensive back in NFL despite Heisman year at Colorado | Colin Cowherd

[@asacloutier7530]

Telling Travis to play CB over WR is like telling him to take $20 instead of $1,000.....

[@jackdot708]

Wr are a dime a dozen though. CBs are hard to find but I see what u sayin

Great WRs are common great Cornerbacks are rare

[@devincollins9726]

It’s really a dumb thought process and I agree with you 100% that that narrative should be done and over with. Josh jacobs , Maurice Jones drew, Ray Rice, Darren Sproles, and many others killed that narrative a long time ago so you are 100% right I don’t understand it either.

[@Trill_Tour]

Did anyone actually watch the video? They're not saying Hunter should play corner, they're saying that's where he provides the most value

[@richarddecredico6098]

yes and they are jack boots because he is better as a receiver AND they get paid more

[@Pounce730]

Team GM’s talk to the media to influence their takes. If he’s drafted as a cornerback he’ll make less money but I guarantee the teams will still have him play a little WR but won’t end up paying him for that position.

[@brandonbey8878]

Bro he literally had 14 TDs as a receiver yall really don’t know Football and it shows. That’s top 5 in the entire country! Yall smoking that good good lol

[@Trill_Tour]

​@@Pounce730You think John is influenced by GM's?? You've never listened to him them

[@sqwatchman53]

I understand the money argument for him to play WR… totally valid but I actually agree that his upside at CB is astronomical. His body type/change of direction and ball skills are absolutely ELITE for a CB at the NFL level. Plus now that he can finally focus on one position and build his body to specifically suit one position and his measurables suggest that he is a plus corner and a average wide receiver.

[@rahsaanbuggage8212]

See I do think the guys an ELITE DB but those same skills have him as an ELITE wr extremely deadly after the catch he’s surprisingly polished strong at the catch point a CONTORTIONIST making contested catches the guys really good

[@asacloutier7530]

his hands say he's a top 10 receiver in the league though................

Travis is a once in a generation talent. Play both ways Travis! Don’t let talking heads put you in a box

[@bradbennett1188]

Hope he don’t listen to this take either

[@WorldBeater123]

@ this isn’t my take, it’s Travis’ take! He wants to play both ways.

[@myl25-]

Do you know how difficult that actually is? The level of competition is so insanely different. No player is playing 70 snaps a game. Just imagine having to guard Tyreek for 35 snaps and having Jalen Ramsey cover you for 35 more snaps.

[@WorldBeater123]

@ You know who knows how difficult that is? Travis. He’s done it his whole life. Let him cook. He’s not going to play every snap, but guaranteed he’s going to be in packages on both offense and defense

[@Shady80zz]

@@WorldBeater123 hes never played both positions in the NFL. It’s night and day difference between the big leagues and college. If he plays both positions he’s going to get hurt in the NFL

[@Watchingvideoslikeu]

WR’s maybe common but number 1 receivers are not common which is Nico Collins being out with injury made a world of difference for the Texans. Which is why Cedee got paid, Jefferson got paid Tyreek got paid AJ got paid and why Chase will eventually get paid. Let’s not play semantics Kelce though a TE functions as a wideout for the Chiefs. All the recent superbowls have featured top receiving threats on both sides

[@MrShitfire]

Who's to say he will be a number 1 WR. Travis wasn't even the best WR in college. Had he only played WR, there's a legitimate chance he could be a number 1 WR in the NFL.

[@scruffd0g193]

Full time CB1, WR2 Packages.

[@zj8478]

Awful take. Let’s say Travis plays well on defense And doesn’t play receiver a couple pass breakups and maybe a pick but the team loses 17-21 You’re leaving at least 6 catches and 70yd and a touchdown just sitting on the sidelines. Travis is no worst than an elite number 2 receiver. He may not be chase, Jefferson, or Adams as far as offensive snaps and production But he could def give you Jordan Addison, Devonta smith, jeudy, Jayden Reed numbers. We seen Deion play offense at a high level in Dallas. Travis is liable to perform at a higher level than that.

[@myl25-]

@@zj8478 you think Travis is a robot with infinite stamina? Even just covering a wr2 in the NFL takes magnitudes more stamina than your average college wr. And then you want him to take 35 snaps on offense as well? And btw none of the WR you mentioned is averaging 70yds and a td per game 😂. Those are wr1 numbers.

[@TruthTheChamp]

He can do it

[@TruthTheChamp]

​@myl25- thats why he ssaid a #2. He has better stamina then even normal 5 star first round picks because he played a couple hundred more snaps then the next player. He can reduce his snaps to %30 and still play both sides

[@howarddickersonjr.6994]

@@myl25-yeah the stamina part is true until you realize he’s coming from Boulder, Colorado. The altitude alone gives him a leg up conditioning wise over everybody coming into the draft! No player in the country can go to Colorado and play both sides of the ball every week without getting gassed.

[@user-ye9yt2mv2n]

Starting corner, slot receiver that plays around 15 offensive snaps a game

[@rafsimmz]

This was my thought . Or he’d genuinely play whatever the team needs most . Week 11 and you got 2 corners hurt ? Start him, week 5 and top wr hurt ? have Hunter play half the offensive snaps .

[@Chatter156]

They want him to choose Defense because DBs get payed less than WRs they not slick

[@Sea_Stallion]

There are more great WRs than there are great CBs which means the market is going to adjust

[@herrguru4264]

1. They think they slick. NEVER... not once did they tell Gaysom Hill to only play tight end. Travis Hunter is just as good as most NFL Number 2 Wide receivers (Tyler Locket, Darnell Mooney, Quentin Johnson, Rashee Rice, Jordan Addison, Romeo Dobbs, Devonta Smith, Nico Collins, Jaylen Waddle etc.). 2. Taysom Hill, who has no business play Quarterback, Colin Cowshit said, why not, lets see what we got. - Travis Hunter who is better than most NFL, Number 2 Wide Receivers, Colin Cowshit is saying he should play corner.

[@alexe727]

Tell us you have no idea what you’re talking about, without telling us you have no idea what you’re talking about. Nobody is trying to minimize Travis Hunters bag. The NFL is a multi billion dollar business…. Whether they pay Travis Hunter, or a different elite player, the money is gone either way…Take a basic economics course & then come back & have this conversation.

[@jjgreen5206]

Let’s be honest. This was Heisman was not about the best player it was about the best brand. Otherwise Ashton Jeanty would have won. I was a college running back and that dude is a freak. He is dominant beyond belief. He carried that team to the playoffs

[@shardstraws1]

bye hater ✌️

[@ezrashade4832]

The fact that WR's average $10mil a year more than DBs guarantee's u the young man wants to be a receiver

[@MeiA-h9r]

I think Deebo Samuel explained it best regarding Travis Hunter playing both sides in that it’s not a question of physicality but a question of learning both playbooks for offensive or defensive sides.

[@BenSmith-mg5jv]

I believe Shadeur is as or MORE WORTHY to go in the top 3 as the other QBs in line for a top 3 draft spot BUT for some reason I DON'T think he'll go top 3 ALONG WITH Travis. I say Shadeur goes SOMEWHERE in the top 10 and at LEAST 2 teams WILL BE kicking themselves in a year or two for NOT taking Shadeur OVER a more, " TRADITIONAL, " body type of a QB worthy of being a top 3 draft pick. I'm an Eagles fan so I REALLY wouldn't want THIS to happen BUT if I was the Cowboys I'd sell Jerry Jones 5th love child to get as a package deal Coach Prime and Shadeur Sanders to replace the DEVASTATINGLY DOLTISH, DEPRESSING AND DISAPPOINTING DUO who are CLEARLY CAPPED AT, " we're ABOVE average in darn NEAR every NFL regular season BUT CAN'T SNIFF even a NFC 🏆 in a quarter century, " thus never being good ENOUGH to be satisfied and NEVER bad ENOUGH to have a CHANCE to POSSIBLY draft the SAVIOR who at least has a CHANCE to get them back to the Big Game much less WIN IT. No matter HOW MUCH 💵 they have sunk in Dak regular season MVP Prescott and no matter how many years are left on Mike, " I'm a 300lb later middle aged fat guy whose been TRYING to DUNK AGAIN SINCE they ONCE DID IT as a 150lb twenty year old DECADES AGO, " McCarthy's contract, I void the contract, take the financial hit and sell the farm for Coach Prime and QB Prime.

[@markps415]

Muscle up and this man would even dominate the safety position. His db instincts and the ability to high point balls with his hands. it’s a lost art in the nfl nowadays .

[@Squeezy-85]

Belichick is not coming back to the NFL lolololololol. This is clearly Bill betting on himself, thinking he can win a college title. He only wants to solidify his already all-time accolades.

[@psouthful]

Let him come to that decision on his own and still leave the receiver option open if the tean needs.

[@Mr.KyleRichey]

He’s a good DB but he’s never at least to me been a Revis/Sherman, but even if he is, there’s so much more value in being a receiver and he’s an elite receiver at least in college

[@the5-starreview871]

Travis intrinsic value expands when he is playing on both sides of the ball. Hunter will play both sides of the ball in the NFL. Just watch

[@blakty2]

The only thing stopping him from playing both is the playbook. If his skill translates to the NFL he’s getting a bag regardless. It’s not brain surgery ppl

[@greyklopstock7155]

I just realized, if he was still alive z Al Davis would've gone absolutely FERAL for Travis Hunter lmao. A receiver who is also an elite DB? Tell me that doesn't sound like a classic og raiders draft pick

[@williamfox1146]

Pro season is 17 games. Hunter should play corner and occasional receiver.

LMFAO And here we go! They tryna kill that bag that Travis is entitled to! He clearly makes more money being drafted as a WR and he for sure can play it at the highest level. Dude is an absolute freak and has crazy ball skills. But they tryna make him go the DB route and make him take less to do more. F that!
