Travis Hunter will be out to prove Giants wrong if they draft him: ‘I’m different’
NY Post
INDIANAPOLIS — There was so much talk around and from Travis Hunter about an exciting and unique storyline that is fun to consider yet unlikely to happen.
“I want to play both,’’ Hunter said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “That’s not my job to figure it out. I like to play both sides of the ball. If they give me the opportunity to play both sides of the ball, I’ll play both sides.’’
Hunter believes he can play cornerback and wide receiver at the next level.
It just so happens, the Giants own the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, and finding a No. 1 cornerback ranks second to finding a starting quarterback on their needs list.
They also want to add a No. 2 receiver to pair with Malik Nabers, last season’s rookie sensation. There is certainly a chance Hunter is on the board when it comes time for the Giants to make their selection.
It is the job of whoever selects Hunter way up high to determine if Hunter is a cornerback or a wide receiver. He was fantastic at both of those positions at Colorado. He is the top-rated cornerback in this year’s draft class and also rated as the No. 1 receiver. He sees no reason to give up on either of those roles.
