Yep. Finding that balance of what he can handle on both sides of the ball may take some time. We'll see how his body holds up

Injury is the only thing that will stop him from being a superstar.

Let’s be honest here. Most of the NFL will have inferior talent vis a vis Travis so he will still be doing it against inferior talent.
You are an incredibly selfless person
I really believe Travis can do just as well on both sides of the ball as he did in college. The NFL game is slower but obviously a longer season. Pull him when he's not needed (short yardage rush situations on both sides of the ball), no special teams, take him out if the game is out of reach etc. He can do it.
It’s not really the physical part that’s the problem it’s the mental side and not being a full time participant in the offensive of defensive install throughout the week in the film and meeting rooms as well as the practice field.
His usage in college was virtually impossible, so I don't think the conventional wisdom applies. Unicorn.
He is a unicorn, so if someone can do it, it'll be him
Ranking the No. 1 recruits of the 21st century: Travis Hunter or Vince Young for the top spot?
Where does Adrian Peterson rank? Is Jeremiah Smith worthy of a spot in the top 10 after one season? What about Arch Manning?

I'm not sure if everyone can see this paywalled The Athletic article, but it ranks every #1 nationally ranked high school recruit from each year in the 21st Century, based only upon college performance (not NFL). Vince Young and Travis are ranked 1 and 2, which is correct in my mind. Great article.
