Colorado’s Travis Hunter to enter draft, vows to be full-time CB and WR in NFL

Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter plans to turn pro and prefers to continue a dual role, playing wide receiver and cornerback in the NFL.Hunter could be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and is the favorite for the Heisman Trophy.”That’s definitely for sure,” Hunter said on a conference call with reporters.Hunter is consistently playing between 100 and 125 snaps per game for Colorado. He has three interceptions on defense with 74 receptions, 911 yards and nine touchdowns playing wideout for quarterback Shedeur Sanders. Also a projected early first-round pick, Sanders committed to play in the East-West Shrine Game in Dallas. The son of Colorado head coach and Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, Shedeur Sanders said Thursday he would cast a Heisman vote for Hunter.”If it’s between me and him, I would want him to get it,” Sanders said. “He does a lot of amazing things and things that haven’t been done before. I’m not a selfish guy. I know what he’s capable of, so I would rather him win.”Hunter said he would invite his QB to New York if he’s not named a Heisman finalist before they go about the business of finishing the season, possibly in the 12-team College Football Playoff.Shedeur Sanders said he’s the best quarterback in the draft, and doesn’t believe that’s anything new.”I feel like I was the best quarterback in the last draft, too,” said Shedeur Sanders. “Ever since I was draft eligible, I knew I’m the best quarterback. It’s not up for me to prove myself to talking about why.”
