INDIANAPOLIS — The only way that the Jets could’ve fared better than drafting Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson in 2022 is if it only cost one top 10 pick to secure two foundational cornerstones.
The thought of that scenario as some ridiculous fantasy ends this week when Travis Hunter arrives at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. The Heisman Trophy winner could participate in cornerback drills Friday, come back as a receiver Saturday and declare before then in public that he wants to play both positions full-time at the next level.
The response from the Titans, Browns, Giants and Patriots — or any other team that trades into a top four pick — to the idea of a fully two-way Hunter should be unanimous: Do it.
“Travis Hunter is like someone went to the Eagles and took Devonta Smith and Darius Slay and spun him around in a circle,” NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said, “and they came out as the same human being. He’s unique.”
