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?

I think his entire career.

You can play him at CB full time, and then give him a package of plays at WR.

It depends on when he gets injured and how bad that injury is. It's going to happen and it's more likely to happen sooner when one is out there more.

It mainly depends where he goes, I would assume if you asked Deion about it he'd say he could have played a bunch of WR snaps but his coaches "wouldn't let him".

He’ll need to focus on one position first.

It’s not just showing up on game day and playing both positions… it starts during the week with meetings/gameplan installs.

Well lucky for him playing CB isn't really a position that requires a ton of thinking.

He won't be able to play both full-time in the NFL. He could play CB with some plays here and there at WR or vice versa, but never both. The game is too demanding at that level and too physical.

All things equal, play WR because they ultimately get paid more. If I'm an NFL coach, though, I probably want him at CB full-time and work him into some things offensively. Manufactured touches and go routes are what he made his living at as a WR. Those are pretty easy installs for him to be involved offensively early on.

In todays game even a package of plays requires a lot of practice time. Just having some rythm with the QB and knowing your route options ... unless you are just going to run a go route every time.

May just as easy to go the other way, full time wr and CB on third downs for a man coverage team.

I sure hope so. He is one of my favorite players. He played the meaningless bowl game and wants to keep playing both ways.

That is fkn awesome if you ask me.

The comments here make me curious about something.

Which do you think is the actual constraining factor against playing two ways for the entire game? Is it the physical wear and tear and injury risk on a player, or is it the ability to understand and act on game plans in the modern NFL?

I recognize that both come into play, but one of those has to be the actual tipping point constraint.

I think the main constraining factor is that it goes against the established thinking of at least the last 40 years so neither coaches or players often even consider the viability of it.

NFL is not aerobically testing in a way that most other high contact sports are so it would more come down to someone having the dedication and mental processing skills to attend meetings on both sides of the ball and understand 2 playbooks and concepts.

I'd argue the physical/injury risk component.

Agreed, physical impact is too much. I am certain the mental part would also be an issue in the NFL, but he has proven that he can handle it at a pretty high level already. I have read that he is a very bright kid.
