Hunter’s draft odds surge after Titans’ statement

How NFL general managers and organizations will view Travis Hunter come draft season is still unclear. As a two-way player with generational talent, Travis is unlike any prospect the NFL has seen in decades.

Many analysts believe he is the best overall player in the 2024 draft class, but his uniqueness has left his draft stock open to debate. Could his desire to play offense and defense sway some teams away, or will his undeniable talent make him a no-brainer at the top of the draft?

On Thursday, Tennessee Titans president of football operations, Chad Brinker, may have given fans a significant clue about their plans for the first pick in the draft.

When asked about the team’s strategy, Brinker told reporters: “We won’t pass on a generational talent with the first pick in the draft.”

While he didn’t mention Travis Hunter by name, the statement strongly aligns with what many NFL insiders are saying about Hunter’s potential. It’s rare for a player to dominate on both sides of the ball, and the Titans’ comments could indicate that they view him as the type of player who could change the trajectory of a franchise.

Following Brinker’s statement, sportsbooks took note. Odds for Travis to become the number one overall pick shifted dramatically on one platform, moving from +1400 to +140 in just a matter of hours. While nothing is set in stone, it’s clear that NFL teams—and betting markets—are starting to treat Travis Hunter as a serious contender to be the top pick in April’s draft.
