Just about every year, a Heisman winner gets taken in the NFL Draft. So that didn’t make Travis Hunter unique. However, a two-way Heisman winner isn’t something we’ve seen in decades, which appropriately garnered Hunter the label of being a unicorn. The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Hunter second overall as both a wide receiver and cornerback, and ever since then, there’s been speculation on how the team would utilize someone with his special abilities.
The early returns are a bit underwhelming, considering that he didn’t just play two positions in college at Colorado, he starred at two positions. Through three NFL games, Hunter has 10 receptions for 76 yards and no touchdowns on offense, while having nine tackles, one pass defensed and no interceptions on defense.
