The 2025 NFL combine is taking place in Indianapolis with plenty of top players working out in front of scouts and talent evaluators.

Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders has decided not to participate in drills at the combine.

Sanders' Colorado teammate and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter is also not going to participate in drills or workouts, per Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette.

"An NFL official said Travis Hunter not doing workouts at combine," Tomasson posted Thursday on X.

Both Sanders and Hunter are projected to go early in the first round, with some having Hunter pegged as the top overall pick.

Hunter, the wide receiver-cornerback hybrid, was initially listed at corner ahead of the combine.

Hunter was even asked about potentially returning kicks, although he said he "already has two jobs."

Moreover, Hunter added he "100 percent" wants to play on both sides of the ball as he spoke to reporters during his media availability on Thursday.

Hunter finished the 2024 season with 96 catches, 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns. On defense, Hunter had 35 total tackles, 11 pass deflections, four interceptions and a forced fumble en route to winning the Heisman Trophy over Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

The tape is out there plenty for Hunter, and while he won't work out at the combine, he is scheduled to participate in the Big 12 Pro Day from March 18-21.
