For the next several months, the debate surrounding Travis Hunter's future in the NFL will be firmly centered on whether he should primarily play cornerback or wide receiver.

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports said he spoke with 13 different general managers and head coaches regarding that topic and said the "overwhelming" consensus was that Hunter should focus on cornerback.

The majority cited Hunter's "elite ball skills" and noted that it's "just so hard to find a shutdown corner like that. However, they all said—even though we start him at cornerback—we'd definitely find packages and plays for him on the offensive side of the ball."

Hunter's two-way impact ultimately earned him the Heisman Trophy, alongside a slew of other awards this season.

On the offensive side of the ball, he caught 92 passes for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns. Defensively, he notched 31 tackles, four interceptions, 11 passes defensed and a forced fumble despite opposing quarterbacks often ignoring his side of the field.

In the modern game, Hunter's true two-way status is incredibly unique.

"They sprinkled me out there [on offense] when they needed a play. I didn't do a whole lot of offense," Charles Woodson—who won the Heisman Trophy back in 1997 as a cornerback, receiver and returner—told Ralph D. Russo of The Athletic. "Travis actually plays both sides of the ball. You can say he's a two-way player that played defense, but I'm still the only defensive player to win it."

Playing full-time on both sides of the ball feels unrealistic in the NFL game, however. For one, it's a longer season playing against the biggest, strongest and fastest players on the planet. The physical toll is real.

But the NFL game is also complex, and expecting Hunter to handle the intricacies of both an offensive and defensive game plan would be a major ask. Most college programs wouldn't have allowed Hunter to do what he's done, but Deion Sanders and Colorado offered him that freedom, and it worked out quite nicely.

It does seem most likely that Hunter will be drafted as a cornerback and teams will build a nice package of plays for him on the offensive side of the ball. Sanders was used in a similar fashion in his Hall of Fame NFL career. Not a bad path for Hunter to follow.
