Travis Hunter makes major NFL Draft 2025 decision and position choice after starring for Colorado Buffaloes
THE BEST SELECTION When Travis Hunter’s season with the Colorado Buffaloes concludes, he will join the NFL Draft.
It was generally anticipated that Hunter, the Heisman Trophy favorite, would skip his senior year and join the NFL in 2025.
Hunter, who plays wide receiver and cornerback for Colorado, is ranked as the top prospect for the next selection by ESPN’s Mel Kiperlists.
Colorado’s dynamic two-way standout stated he will be joining the NFL in 2025 during a media conference call on Thursday.
185 pounds at 6 feet 1 inch, the junior remarked, “That’s definitely for sure.”
And by playing on BOTH sides of the ball at the next level, the 21-year-old hopes to create history.

It has never been done before in the modern NFL to play two positions full-time.
“Teams don’t want their top pick to go down too early, so I understand that it will be a high risk,” Hunter added.
Additionally, I am aware that they will want me to appear in a few bundles. But I think I’m capable. So yet, no one has prevented me from doing it.
“I like when people tell me I can’t do it.”
If they are unable to trade him away, the Jacksonville Jaguars will rush to the podium to assist in resolving two roster dilemmas at wide receiver and cornerback.
In addition to being expected top picks in the NFL in April of next year, Hunter and Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders are both strong contenders for the Heisman.

Sanders, the Colorado coach’s sonAccording to Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, Hunter ought to take home the Heisman.
“If it’s between me and him, I would want him to get it,” Sanders stated.
“He does several incredible feats and ones that have never been done before. I’m not a self-centered person. I would rather that he win since I am aware of his potential.
Hunter’s output at wide receiver has grown, as seen by his career-high receptions (74), receiving yards (911), and touchdowns (9).
In the meanwhile, he routinely records more than 120 total snaps per game and has three interceptions at corner.
In 1994, Colorado’s sole Heisman Trophy victory was achieved by running back Rashaan Salaam.
According to Kiper, Sanders will be the top quarterback selected in the 2025 draft and the seventh overall talent.
‘Match made in heaven’
By Deputy U.S. Sports Editor Sunni Upal
The Dallas Cowboys hiring Deion Sanders as their head coach is a match made in heaven.
Something needs to change because the Cowboys haven’t won a Super Bowl in thirty years.
Even though this is “America’s Team,” they have devolved into a laughing stock and need someone to bring them back to their former splendor.
Mike McCarthy’s successor as head coach must possess some enchantment and motivation.
Come on,Sanders, Deion.
One of the greatest athletes to ever set foot on the field, Sanders, 57, was a member of Dallas’ squad during their most recent Super Bowl victory.
“Prime Time” is precisely what he is, and the Cowboys need that energy.
Now is the ideal moment for Deion to move on as well.
In terms of popularity and performance, he has elevated the Buffaloes to unprecedented levels.
Shedeur Sanders, a quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes, is also a senior in college.
If Sanders wishes to remain in college, he could likely get a head coaching position with a team that is a serious contender for a national championship.
However, the opportunity to coach the Dallas Cowboys might not present itself again.
If Colorado defeats Kansas on Saturday and Oklahoma State the following week, they will advance to the Big 12 championship game.
Last weekend’s 49-24 victory over Utah gave Hunter a boost to his 2024 Heisman campaign.
He recorded five catches for 55 yards, his first rushing touchdown of the season, and his third interception of the year.
Deion doubled down following his performance against the Utes.
According to Sanders, Travis is who he is. The top collegiate football player is expected to receive it. Since, what, Week 2? I believe that’s all.
