Travis Hunter Says He Could Play Offense And Defense In The NFL And Is Ready To Prove It To Travis Kelce

Travis Hunter is making some bold claims about his skills in the NFL. He’s saying that he could play both ways, that is offense and defense and he’s ready to prove it to none other than Travis Kelce, who questioned his ability to do that.

You see, Travis Hunter is not your average athlete. He’s got speed, agility, and a killer work ethic. He’s been dominating the high school football scene and now he’s setting his sights on the NFL. And he’s not just talking the talk – he’s ready to walk the walk.

Travis Hunter knows that playing both ways in the NFL is a rare occurrence. It’s a tough feat to accomplish, but he’s confident he can do it. He’s got the skills, the determination, and the drive to succeed.

He is expected to go in the opening two picks of this year’s NFL Draft, but many believe he will be unable to regularly play both sides of the ball in the pro ranks.

‘He’s not telling no lie. I still got to prove it. I just can’t go to the league, and they just, “Oh, here you go, Trav, you could do all this,” and I don’t go out and show up how I’m supposed to show up.’

On a recent episode of the New Heights podcast, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kelce said: ‘It’s 100 percent possible, he’s gonna have to prove he can do it. No one has ever played every single play on both sides.

‘When Deion (Sanders) did it, he was in nickel. He was in certain packages… in the NFL, they’ll have to scheme up around him getting too exhausted. They really have to weigh that into their play-calling, both offensively and defensively.’

Kelce added: ‘I just think that mentality – it can wear a guy out… I’m not saying that he can’t do it because I was blown away by what he could do in college in terms of playing every single down.

‘If he is going to do that, I think it’s smarter to scheme it up to where you know you’re not putting him in a vulnerable position to get tired out faster.’

Jason then read a quote from Sanders – Hunter’s coach at Colorado – when he said the plan is for the rookie to play both positions – or else teams should not draft him.

Travis replied: ‘I think he’s proven that he needs to play on both sides of the ball.’

He continued: ‘I think it’s easier for him to be on the field all the time as a defensive player and then offensively coming in on certain plays. I think that is so much easier… he’s a f****n’ all-around athlete, dude.

‘You can put him anywhere on the football field. You can give him the reverses, you can do anything with him on the football field… when you watch him run, you’re like “Yeah, we should probably throw him the ball.”‘

So keep an eye out for Travis Hunter. He’s ready to shake up the NFL and show everyone what he’s made of. And hey, if he can play both ways and impress Travis Kelce, there’s no telling what else he’s capable of. Get ready for some epic showdowns on the field!
