How long will Travis Hunter last as a two way player in the NFL?
 

My guess is one or two years. Eventually he’s going to have to choose a primary position. The NFL is just too physical. Or he’s going to have to be load managed of some sort.

Your thoughts?

Depends heavily on how successful he is at going both ways. If he's not nearly as good at one position, it will probably end quickly. Likewise, if he's only mediocre at both positions, then one will probably be dropped to concentrate on the other. If he's really good at both positions, it will last for a long time.

Agreed. Which one is he better at? Seems that being a good CB is more
Valuable than a WR. But I could be wrong or that’s going to vary by team

Frankly, it's stupid to try it. Any coordinator worth half a **** is going to run a system that takes legitimate work to operate properly. If not, it's just a matter of time before that sister****er is fired.

His best move is to pick one (probably WR if both are equal, WR careers are typically longer than CBs) and IF he kicks ass and picks up the system quickly, then after a year MAYBE run some Troy Brown with the Cheatriots type action.

But full time 2 way action, almost certainly ends up in the following:

1. Limited Snaps that will severely limit the effectiveness of his elite talent OR Injury.

2. Limited effectiveness due to inability to learn 2 systems.

3. Limited effectiveness due to stamina issues.

Zero chance he can start and play an entire game at 2 positions. Zero.
He could, though, play critical downs on either side of the ball when needed. Say he starts at CB and could come in on a critical offensive play, it would give his team massive flexibility. And fun to watch as a fan, this is entertainment after all.

This is what will probably happen, or something similar.

IF he's a 2 Way Player in the NFL, He'll most likely play Corner and will be available on certain packages on offense. I feel like it'll be a lot easier to incorporate someone of his skillset into certain packages on the offense while being an 'every down' kind of player on defense than the other way around.

Deion Sanders played a little WR in the NFL. But it wasn’t many snaps.

In general I think CB is more valuable as I think elite CBs are harder to find, but obviously WRs get laid substantially more.

It’ll be interesting to see how his career shakes out. I’ve never seen a prospect quite like this before.

Yep. He made the defense pay attention to him, so it worked in some regard.

This kid doesn't have Deion's ability, though.

Hopefully his pullout game is stronger than Reeks if he plays WR

Yes, WRs probably do get laid more.

🤣 🤣

So did Dale Carter on rare occasion.

Speaking of, this kid makes Dale Carter seem like a rocket surgeon.

Don’t tell Antonio Cromartie

Whatever, I’m leaving it lol

If you’re getting paid, you’re getting laid so it’s all pretty accurate anyway.

I think he will be able to do it until he gets hit hard as WR and dinged up

then the team is out 2 positions when 1 player drops
