If Colorado Buffaloes two-way superstar Travis Hunter gets his wish, he won’t have to travel very far for his next permanent home.
Travis Hunter is widely projected to be a top-10 selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, with some even believing he could be the No. 1 pick. The 21-year-old has turned heads again in 2024 with excellent play as a wide receiver (46 receptions for 561 yards and six touchdowns) and cornerback (three pass breakups and two interceptions).
Given Hunter’s all-world athleticism and ability to produce on both sides of the ball, there won’t be a shortage of teams desperate to land him in the 2025 NFL Draft. But if it were up to Hunter, he would love to stay right here in the Centennial State.
During an appearance on the “Kickin It With Dee” podcast, Travis Hunter expressed his desire to play for the Denver Broncos, citing the love and support from fans in Colorado:
“I wish I could go to the Broncos just to stay in Colorado because so (many) people just welcome us with open arms. They show us love that we would never have gotten in a different spot.”
If you’re a Denver Broncos fan, it’s hard not to get excited about the idea of your team landing Travis Hunter. If he played cornerback at the professional level, he’d form an elite shutdown duo with Patrick Surtain II.
But If Hunter played wide receiver for Denver, he’d end their long-term search for a No. 1 receiver. The Broncos haven’t had a pass-catcher hit 1,000 yards in a season since 2019, when Courtland Sutton hit the feat.
Travis Hunter Will Be A Game-Changer Wherever He Lands
It remains to be seen which position(s) Travis Hunter will play when he jumps to the NFL. There aren’t any guarantees in the pros, but it’s hard to envision this generational talent flopping at the NFL.
He should emerge as one of the NFL’s premier game-changers regardless of where Hunter lands. He’d love to be in Denver, but that’s obviously much easier said than done.
