- Travis Hunter could be a successful two-way player in the NFL - if Hall of Famer Marcus Allen is to be believed.
Hunter took the college football world by storm, starring as both a wide receiver and a cornerback for Colorado, often making dazzling plays on both ends of the field. In 2024, Hunter notched 96 receptions for 1,258 yards to go along with his 15 touchdowns.
On defense, the star had four interceptions this season, a career-high for Hunter. Because of his ability to play offense and defense, Hunter was awarded the Heisman Trophy, beating out Ashton Jeanty and Dillon Gabriel handily, receiving 552 first-place votes.

With the Buffaloes and Hunter's season over, all that remains is who will draft the 21-year-old and if he can continue his dominance at the next level. However, Allen believes Hunter is capable of doing so while also sharing who he believes should draft the star.
"If you would draft him, you'd get two players, you really do," Allen told TMZ in a recent interview. "So that would be the wise thing to do." When asked who he believes should take a shot on the two-way star, Allen played coy before making his suggestion.
"Oh, I don't have the slightest idea, man, nobody can answer that," he continued before emphatically adding: "The Raiders!" | www.themirror....

DTR had like 3 years on the bench he wasn’t rushed into anything if he wasn’t prepared that’s his fault
It was 2 years but still....plus he was a 3 or 4 year starter in college. I've never seen a fan base hope for a 5th round pick in my life.
@@stevenroyer8731 there are bears fans that think tyson bagent (an undrafted division 2 qb) is a future hall of famer. there were also packers fans a few years ago that thought tim boyle would be good because he had a strong arm. thinking dtr would be good isn't good judgement but at least it's not that bad.
One problem with Hoard's choice for Hunter is that he is mainly a receiver. If you don't have a QB worth a spit, your receivers are useless.
He is a DB first and a Receiver/Special team guy second.
he is a db first dumb dumb...........
Hoard is right on point. I said the same thing.They lost Callahan and the O-Line was not addressed. They needed to run the football and protect the QB. PERIOD. It would have changed the whole season. Find out how far T. Hunter will fall. If he does fall. Trade down to get him and get extra picks or pick along with T. Hunter.
Leroy knows what he is talking about!
hunter seems like a guy who would be taken by a team that pretty much everything in place, not a team with a lot of holes to fill like the Browns
Stefanski does indeed have a big say in picking the players, especially the offensive players. I think the Browns can be much better with around 4 good players added at the right positions, through the draft and free agency. QB, WR, RB, & CB. But I'd like to have a difference maker like Abdul Carter or Mason Graham!!!
Look who Detroit had consulting the front office on the talent and who to draft? I don’t trust this Browns front office to pick, let alone a trade down to get more draft picks! GM, talent evaluators and scouting staff needs to be seriously evaluated.
Why does no one say punt returner. Something we really need and Hunter could do. This is why I would be taking Hunter. Shutdown corner and punt returner, or even a WR in a pinch.
Draft Travis Hunter. Leroy's right..... don't mess this up Cleveland
CANS of Peanut Butter Skin
Drop down a couple spots. Take Graham, Carter or OT. Take someone like Riley Leonard or Howard in later round for development. Pick up a vet QB to run the show this year.
Sorry DTR's future is in the UFL.
Atleast he got that. DeShaun has no future not even a ymca flag football team.
You have to draft a quarterback, it's simple and should be common sense.
such a moronic statement........we still stuck with watson fro 2 years, we have to build the team up agian and MAYBE get a qb next year but more likly in 2027 draft.......if you dont want to wait that long you better HOPE, that the line is fixed and watson and KS work with each other these next two years
Leroy Hoard is of the old school where you bring a college QB in and let him sit and learn for a few years and then take over the reins from the veteran. But when you look at some of the exceptions to that rule you get a Patrick Mahomes, a Lamar Jackson. And bringing in a junior QB now, who is he going to learn from? The best the Browns can hope for is to get a veteran that has a few good years left in him and get a junior QB in a draft.
Mahommes didn't start right away he sat his entire rookie season behind Alex Smith.
Hoard is 100% right great points he made. Id play Hunter at wide receiver and put Hunter in as 3rd down defensive back in passing situations ❤
Leroy is spot on about Stefanski 💯
Draft either Abdul Carter or Mason Graham. Then with the 2nd and two 3rd round picks get the best RB, OL, CB, or WR available. Find a solid veteran QB in Free Agency.
Abdul Carter or Mason Graham.
No excuses for DTR. He's trash.
Dtr is afraid to throw past 10 yards
You have to pick the best player in the draft and Travis Hunter is the best player in the draft. Neither QB comes close.
Your crazy i can tell yall never watched either QB
Drafting a qb doesn't mean you'll be 3-14 says Jayden Daniels...
Jayden Daniels also has a better GM, OWNER, COACH, defense, offense/weapons
@ShadowSelf216 that's arguable. The jury is out on the owner, the coach. Offensively their line played much better. Defensively, our offensive offense didn't help much.
@@oillizm small sample size with the owner and GM because it is their first year. Give me Quinn (their HC) over just for men Kevin any day of the week.
@@ShadowSelf216 his weapons are not that great. Jayden made a difference and put the team on his back. Browns need a quarterback.
@ShadowSelf216 as I stated that's very subjective. I'm not even a big stefanski guy. I've said he's not the guy but Quinn hasn't proven to be that guy either. He's been a very average head coach. Is be willing to bet most of your opinion is based more in not liking stefanski as opposed to believing whole heartedly that Quinn is a better coach. He was in good situations and didn't do more than stefanski would given the same. Again not a fan of stefanski but if he had Matt Ryan who was above average to steady at the end. Stefanski had us in the playoffs with bad QB play. For all his weaknesses, he's been able to get more out of most of the QBs with the exception of Watson.
Main point being saying Quinn is that much better than stefanski is extremely subjective.
Stinkfanski has no in-game vision very similar to JB bickerstaff now look at the cavs
I'm with Leroy.
Detroit has a HC Cleveland doesn't
Trade with Giants or Raiders, take a blue chip player like Carter, Graham, Jeanty, etc. They mentioned Dart; I like that kid a lot. If he's still there by Round 3, I'd grab him.
Trade the pick no farther than 7th but get Graham then ol then jaxson dart in the 4th to develop
The Browns need help just about everywhere. We need a running back, QB, receivers, O-line at just about every position, D-Line at just about every position, DEs, LB...pretty much a whole team. Myles Garrett, Denzell Ward (when healthy) and maybe a few others are great players. If it were me, I'd start with the O-line. They are needed for giving the QB time and for opening holes for the run game.
Trade back then tradecback rd by rd by rd get some 2o26 picks while your add it if you get 11 o12 picks in this draft your idds of finding players who can help inxreased a lot , look how many RB and G and even CB gems youfind in rds 5-7.
We need to win now not 2026. Get the QB. Look at the Redskins
Looking at Winstons jersey those ugly plactic sleve stripes are why new jersy's are so inferior to say Bernies era .
Put Leroy in the front office. The position Ozzy Newsome had
Travis Hunter is not the best Corner or Reciever in the draft why would anyone take him early? He will not play both ways in the NFL. If he has a few packages on the other side of the ball now and then and thats it. Why do people not see this?
That's what I'm thinking. While there's no question he's a 1st round talent...but is he the best pure corner and pure WR? I say no, but he has a really good combination of the two...and it'll be very hard to maintain playing both ways in the NFL...but as you stated, he can play in a pinch for some packages...or due to desperation or injury.
@@Always_Neverbro wtf are you guys talking about? Travis hunter is unanimously the best corner prospect this year. Look at ANY draft board. He’s a generational corner prospect. Wide receiver not as much…
Those are all good points..💯
@@EvEspo a generational takent a cb is not as valuable as a generational edge rusher. .. Carter.. move down and get grahm or hunter
Travis Hunter IS the best WR and the best CB in the draft. He will also absolutely play both ways.
Trade back and get picks. I rather have more impact players at other positions than roll out a rookie QB who will most like fail
BPA (other than QB), or trade down.
DTR is very bad at QB
Such proposed moves are why the Browns are who they are and will never win a championship. No knowledgeable person would consider drafting an undersized player who never played against top talent in college. The Browns do not realize that they will need a strong offensive line to have success at QB. This is also lost on the Bears and Colts.
My gut feeling tells me the Browns probably will trade down for some additional picks to overcompensate for what they lost trying to acquire Watson.
They didn't lose any players in the Watson trade..
@@controversialcardchannel They didn't but...they gave up 3 first round picks so for three years they couldn't get any first round talent on the roster via the draft.
Sigh. People, JW is your QB1; draft a QB if you want as a backup to learn but just build around JW (O-line, running back, another receiver/tight end cause N'joku can't run routes & Jeudy is a diva) & get an OC who actually knows how to utilize JW & Stefanski's offense.
Stefanski managed to get us to the playoffs in 2023 when we had to use 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stringers at just about every position. That isn't done by luck.
They need to fall back and get as much top tier offensive lineman they possibly can, let them jell for a few years, and maybe pick up a WR. The QB situation is what it is they at this point may as well chalk it up until Watson is gone
Yea this deshaun deal was a complete failure smh
Please draft Travis Hunter. Reminds of a young Tyreek Hill
Not
Stinkfanski and Schwartz is picking the players by telling berry who they want
Wait we thought this team was going to be great this year but watson letting us down ruined it. Kevin has felt with shit qb play and got the team to play great. Why are so sure we won’t be good next season?
Prime time doesn’t want his Son going to the dawgs I can’t blame him either for that. So no means no. DW said no. Then the owner drop all that money then DW said yes look how that turned out
leroy also fumbled a lot.
Yes Travis is the best option for the browns! We do not need to start over with a qb again! The browns have proven over and over we do not develop QB here! We need a veteran qb that will gun sling that rock! Travis will dominate on both sides of the ball in cleveland, defense without a doubt will be good but with a good pocket passing QB he will dominate our offense too, I swear if they draft another QB I’m done with the browns!
1st
Ward is the only top 10 QB best move trade back and get an eztra 2nd and draft a QB with that extra pick .
Trade the Patriots for Joe Milton.
No qb in 1st rd.
People like Dustin and sometimes bull they want the Browns to do bad because that's how they come across in media want to be doggin them
Need more people in the Browns media like silviano
Draft Travis hunter, don’t smoke or drink just wanted play ball & be great
Draft cam ward
Terrible decision. Travis Hunter is not playing multiple positions. We dont need a corner back. If we’re going back to the old offense with 2 TE and more running, then we dont need WR.
Defensive Line in the first round, if teams were actually getting punished for double and triple teaming myles then secondary has easier work.
A lot of yall in these comments know nothing about Travis Hunter. Yall probably didn't watch one game. Yall are doing no research. Travis Hunter and Denzel Ward are shutting down the field. Our defense would be incredible. Get Kirk Cousins draft Travis Hunter and draft Carson Beck or Will Howard in the 4th or 5th round.
U guys dont know shhhheeeiiit. This team could very well surprise everybody with decent QB play and a RB. The defense will be straight if Myles stays. You guys talk in absolutes when they're just opinions and horrible ones at that. 97% of the time anyway
No QB nor a Sanders coached kid. Don't need that static in Cleveland.
what static?
Leroy is right about Kevin wish Joe Thomas wanted ti dip his toe in catching and share want he learned and help tech techniques he already knew to the new revamped O line. Draft trade back get a 1 next year take LT try to get LB Campbell from Alabama get a TE and the RB from ASU. Free agency gap QB or QBs and O and D line help. 202
love that plan but just take travis his pure talent n iq can’t be passed on unless they are sold on a qb
@lz_a_yl win win if the stay and pick i agree thx
Im glad he's not picking. Hunter is very talented but we have other more pressing needs.
You can tell this guy is a Cleveland Brown because he's in full denial that the Browns have no idea how to make draft picks so I'm not interested in five or six draft picks instead of the number two position because all five or six picks that they take are going to bomb and end up being garbage.... Because the Browns have no clue how to draft so you have to take the sure things
Not a deep draft. Lots of busts. Best available.
Plz go get Justin fields
DTR is a Sanders that’s coachable, Sanders will bring a HOF dad and a don’t want to play on Cleveland! DTR has the same potential but IMO has better upside as far as talent! No one can convince me Colorado = NFL player not just no but Hell No! DTR is coachable that wants to be in Cleveland. Draft TH and pick up a QB second pick
Please don’t ever compare Shedeur to DTR
