Titans, Browns split on Travis Hunter’s best NFL position

There is no clarity yet surrounding the main position of the NFL dynamic Heisman winner Travis Hunter.

Hunter was listed as cornerbacks for the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine, but that's argued as even the Titan and Browns teams, the top two picks in the draft, are unable to reach an agreement on the official designation of the Colorado Star. It has not finished.

“His superpower is really ball skill,” Browns GM said. Andrew Berry told reporters Tuesday. “[Wide receiver is] Positions that can be used 100 times during the season and 30 people. ”

Cleveland may prefer Hunter as receiver, but we ask that Tennessee and its initial overall picks be different.

“He's probably starting from the corner.” Titans Director Brian Callahan said.

They have revealed their preferences, but Berry and Callahan still believe you will see Hunter play both ways.

The cornerback probably said [Hunter’s] “The starting point,” Callahan said, “find a way to insert him into the attack.”

“As he gets more comfortable, he plays more and more offensively,” Callahan added.

Berry didn't reveal any specific plans for Hunter to play both ways if Cleveland drafted him, but highlighted how difficult it would be to pinpoint Hunter in one position .

“It's six one-way, and the other way is half a dozen,” Berry said. “He can play both.”

In his final season of winning the Heisman in Colorado, Hunter played 688 defensive snaps and 672 offensive snaps.

“He's a unique player,” Callahan said. “Not many people have played that many snaps on either side of the ball.”

Hunter was elite on both sides, splitting a total of 92 catches, 1,152 yards, 15 total touchdowns on offense, four interceptions, 32 tackles and 11 passes defense in defense.

“You see his tapes and you see his ability to play both at a very high level. Anyone who talks about him has the ability to play both. I think I'm going to say the same thing,” Callahan said. “If you get him, I'll know where he's right.”
