Hunter excelled as a two-way player last season while playing an exceptionally high number of snaps for Colorado. Last season, Hunter played 713 snaps on offense and 748 snaps on defense and was still incredibly productive despite the enormous amount of snaps.

Hunter had 96 catches for 1,258 yards with 15 touchdowns as a wide receiver, while he had 35 tackles with four interceptions, 11 passes defended, and one forced fumble as a cornerback.

The top NFL Draft prospect told CBS Sports that no team has asked him to only play one-way, but if a team decides to ask him to play one-way in the future, they already have their answer. 

The Tennessee Titans seem locked in on taking Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, which would leave the Cleveland Browns with a chance to select Hunter, star pass rusher Abdul Carter, or Hunter’s college teammate Shedeur Sanders.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry spoke about what position he views Hunter as at the NFL Combine in February. 

"In terms of Travis Hunter, cornerback or receiver, the answer is 'yes.' He can play both, and I think that's what makes him special. But we would see him as a receiver primarily first. But I think what makes him a bit of a unicorn is that he can do both at a high level."

If Hunter dominates both sides of the ball like he did at the college level, the NFL team that drafts him will be very happy.
