The two-way star will be forced into a single position for the combine

Leading up to this year’s NFL Scouting Combine, one of the biggest questions surrounding Travis Hunter was how he would be listed—cornerback, wide receiver, or both. On Thursday morning, with the combine official participant list released, we finally got our answer: Hunter will enter the combine as a cornerback.

This shouldn’t come as a shock to most. While he was electric on offense, his most natural position has always been at cornerback, where his elite footwork, instincts and ball skills make him a nightmare for opposing receivers. Throughout the season, Hunter locked down top receivers while still making highlight-reel plays on offense. His ability to completely erase one side of the field is what makes him such a unique and valuable prospect and it’s clear NFL teams see him as a generational talent in the secondary.

That said, this doesn’t mean he’s giving up on playing both ways. Hunter has been vocal about his desire to continue playing receiver in the NFL and some teams could still be intrigued by the idea of utilizing him in special offensive packages. Whether or not that becomes a reality will likely depend on the team that drafts him.

Now, with the NFL Combine set to begin on February 27th in Indianapolis, all eyes will be on Hunter as he prepares to showcase his athleticism, speed and coverage ability. He’s already a projected top-three pick, but a strong showing could solidify him as the first overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft (April 24-26 in Green Bay).
