Hall of Famer Marcus Allen believes Travis Hunter can excel playing both offense and defense in the NFL. Speaking to TMZ Sports at LAX, Allen emphatically stated that drafting Hunter is essentially acquiring “two players.” This contradicts opinions from figures like Rod Woodson, who suggests Hunter will need to choose between wide receiver and defensive back to maintain peak performance at the professional level.
Allen’s confidence in Hunter stems from his impressive 2024 season, which the former Heisman winner lauded, predicting a surefire Heisman victory for the Colorado star. While Allen didn’t specify a preferred team for Hunter, he expressed his enthusiasm at the prospect of one of his former teams drafting the versatile player. His strong endorsement underscores the considerable buzz surrounding Hunter’s unique potential as a dual-threat player in the upcoming NFL draft.
