The phenomenal athletics and skills of the former soccer star of the University of Colorado, Travis Hunter, led him to be seen as a main talent in this year's NFL Draft class.
Hunter's skill as an open receiver and as a corner led him to win the Heisman trophy as the best player in university football last season.
But while those attributes may have gained praise at the university, they may not be considered an advantage in the NFL.
It is believed that the last player of the League to play the offensive and full -time defense is Chuck Bednarik, who began his NFL career in 1949 and finished it in 1962.
Therefore, it is widely believed that Hunter will choose between one of his two positions. But that is not what everyone thinks they should do.
In the last episode of the new Heights podcast, the closed wing of Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, advised the rookie to consider playing in both NFL places.
NFL Prospect Travis Hunter will probably have to choose between playing receiver and corner
But the Chiefs star, Travis Kelce, believes that Hunter has in him both positions in the NFL
'It's 100 percent possible, I mean you will have to prove that you can do it. No one has played all the play on both sides, “Travis told his brother Jason Kelce in the program.
What Travis said was a disadvantage was that NFL teams would have to plan around them too exhausted. They really have to weigh that in their game calls.
After dissecting potential strengths and weaknesses in different types of coverage, Kelce said: 'I think that mentality can use a boy. I am not saying that I cannot do it because I was impressed by what I could do at the University in terms of playing each Down.
“If you are going to do that, I think it is smarter to plan it where you know you are not putting it in a vulnerable position to get tired faster.”
Jason then read an appointment from the coach of Hunter in Colorado, Deion Sanders, who said the plan is for the rookie to play both positions or the teams should not recruit it.
Travis replied: “I think he has shown that he needs to play on both sides of the ball.”
He continued: 'I think it is easier for him to be in the field all the time as a defensive player and then offensively entering certain plays. I think it's much easier … I think it could be more influential. What is the point in certain runs when you know that it is executed so that the field between there, drawing security? Could it do it? Yes. Could you get another boy to do it? Probably.'
'She is a athlete around the world, friend. You can put it anywhere in the football field. You can give him the setbacks, you can do anything with him in the football field … When you see him run, you are like “Yes, we should probably throw the ball.”
But Kelce advised teams to be smart on how to use Hunter so that he does not get tired
Hunter is expected to be selected within the first five selections of the NFL Draft this year
At the end of the segment, Kelce said he was a great admirer and joined that the star joined him in Kansas City.
Hunter is a projected selection among the top five, so the probability that he is still on the board when the chiefs are with the 31st general selection is almost almost.
The last simulated drafts make Hunter fall as far as the New England patriots (ESPN, Fox Sports) With Pick No. 4.
