Everyone Has Same NFL Landing Spot In Mind For Travis Hunter

Travis Hunter is one of the most unique NFL prospects to come out of college in a long time. Not only was the former five-star talent Colorado's No. 1 receiver in 2024, but he also played shutdown corner on his way to Heisman Trophy and All-American honors.

Additionally, Hunter took home the Chuck Bednarik and Fred Biletnikoff Awards as the nation's best defensive player and wide receiver, respectively. Now he's set to make the jump to the pros where he intends to play both sides as well — although some have their doubts.

On Wednesday, Titans president of football operations Chad Brinker appeared to hint at what direction his team could go with this year's No. 1 pick, telling reporters: "We won't pass on a generational talent with 1st pick in the NFL Draft. We're doing our homework on all the prospects, including the quarterbacks."

That got folks to thinking that Hunter might be at the top of Tennessee's draft board.

"Surely this means Travis Hunter is who the Titans are looking at here then," a user said. "Ward and Sanders are not generational talents."

"Obviously they aren't tipping but if any prospect looks generational in this class it's Travis Hunter," a Titans fan replied. "He's the only one that has done something truly unbelievable."

"Travis Hunter, you are a Titan," another commented.

"Wow… So the Tennessee Titans are taking WR/CB Travis Hunter with the 1st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft," John Frascella posted.

"Get ready to learn Tennessee Titan Travis Hunter!"

"Please don't let the Titans ruin Travis Hunter," another person pleaded.

"Travis to the titans??? Don't play with my emotions," another fan cried.

There aren't a lot of talents that come around like Travis Hunter. But in a quarterback-driven league it's hard to imagine a team going CB/WR at 1.

With that said, Hunter has the chance to be an extremely special NFL player with Hall of Fame potential and that's hard to pass up.
