Video: Travis Hunter Says Wolves' Anthony Edwards Would Be His NBA Player Comparison

Taylyn Hadley

Colorado Buffaloes dual-threat Travis Hunter compared himself to a very notable NBA player ahead of the Heisman Trophy announcement.

The 21-year-old wide receiver and cornerback initially chose NBA veteran Kevin Durant but later rethought his answer, settling on the uncanny 23-year-old Anthony Edwards.

"NBA comp? I like (Kevin Durant)," Hunter told reporters. "Oh wait hold on... Anthony Edwards. That's who I'm going with – A.E."

The two powerhouses are electrifying on both ends of the court, providing stellar defense to complement their groundbreaking offensive skills.

Edwards recently told ESPN that he himself would potentially crossover into the NFL in a few years if things work out.

"Football players can't go play basketball. No way. I told my buddies, I said, 'If I win a ring in the next 3-4 years, I'm going to play football,'" Edwards said.

On top of his Edwards comparison, Hunter responded when asked if there is any sport he thinks he could not play, despite being "dynamic on both sides of the court."

"I can play all of them," Hunter responded.

Hunter posted 1,152 yards on 92 receptions with 14 touchdowns on the offensive end and 31 tackles, 11 passes defended, and four interceptions on the defensive side this season for the Buffaloes.
