"I'm gonna make sure of that": Deion Sanders makes strong claims regarding Travis Hunter's NFL Draft
Deion Sanders came on "The Rick Eisen Show" on Dec. 21 to talk about Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter among other things. When he was questioned about whether he thinks Travis can play both sides of the ball in the NFL, Coach Prime said:
"Travis could definitely do that. I mean, he's gonna do that or they shouldn't draft him. Don't do that and I'm gonna make sure of that. Don't draft him if you're not gonna give him an opportunity to play on both sides of the ball."
"He's going to be probably your best receiver. And you're going to look like an idiot with your best receiver sitting on the bench and you can't get over, you can't get the ball down the field, or vice versa." He added.
Coach Sanders further explained a Plan B for Travis if he is not drafted by a team that is unwilling to use his two-way skill:
"It's abundantly clear that this is what he wants. This is who he is and it's not going to work unless you entertain this and give him an assurance of, 'This is what's going to happen'. You got to understand Travis Hunter has another year eligibility. So if you start the foolishness, he can do that."
With the NFL draft four months away in April, it is to be seen which Hunter is drafted into and how the situations fare for him in the NFL.
