The New York Giants are in a prime position to shake up the 2025 NFL Draft with the third overall pick. With the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns ahead of them, Big Blue’s selection could depend on how the board falls. If Cleveland takes linebacker Abdul Carter at No. 2 and the Giants aren’t completely sold on quarterback Shedeur Sanders, they might have the chance to land one of the most electrifying prospects in the draft—Travis Hunter.
Hunter is a rare talent, excelling as both a lockdown cornerback and a dynamic wide receiver at Colorado. While reports suggest the Giants see him primarily as a corner, his versatility could be too valuable to limit to just one role. Head coach Brian Daboll has been highly impressed, saying at the NFL Owners Meetings, “It’s really remarkable what he has done and the ability to perform at that level, not really getting a rest. He’s been a fun player to evaluate and to meet and talk with. He’s a heck of a player.”
For a Giants team still working to solidify its identity, Hunter’s ability to impact both sides of the ball could be a game-changer. Whether lining up in the secondary or giving the offense an extra weapon, his presence would add a new dimension to Daboll’s roster. If the Browns pass on him, the Giants might have the chance to grab a true difference-maker without taking a gamble on a quarterback they aren’t fully convinced about.
