The 2025 NFL Draft is right around the corner, and while Cam Ward seems like a lock for the No. 1 overall pick by the Tennessee Titans, the big question now is: Where will Travis Hunter land?
Hunter, the Heisman-winning two-way star, is one of the most hyped prospects in this year’s class. Some teams see him as a shutdown cornerback, while others view him as a dynamic wide receiver. That difference in opinion could shake up the draft board.
The Teams in the Mix
Cleveland Browns (#2 Pick): The Browns have met with Hunter but are reportedly leaning toward drafting edge rusher Abdul Carter. Cleveland also needs a quarterback, so Shedeur Sanders or another QB could be in play here. If they do go for Hunter, they reportedly prefer him as a receiver.
New York Giants (#3 Pick): The Giants grabbed veteran QBs Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson, so they might pass on a quarterback in the first round. Hunter could be an option, though they’d likely use him as a cornerback.
New England Patriots (#4 Pick): The Pats just signed Stefon Diggs, so wide receiver isn’t their biggest need. They’re also eyeing offensive linemen, but if they stick to a “best player available” strategy, Hunter could be their guy.
Jacksonville Jaguars (#5 Pick): If somehow Hunter slides past the top four teams, the Jaguars could pounce. But most experts doubt he’ll fall that far.
A Rare Talent
Hunter is a unique prospect—the first player ever to win both the Chuck Bednarik and Fred Biletnikoff awards for being the best defender and best receiver in college football. He wants to play both ways in the NFL, but that depends on where he ends up.
Who do you think drafts him? Will he be a shutdown corner or a game-changing wideout? Let the debate begin
