It’s only been a few weeks since Travis Hunter was drafted second overall to be a two-way player for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Heisman Trophy winner hasn’t even gone through an NFL training camp yet, but the Travis Hunter effect is already underway as other teams are also seeking players who can contribute on both sides of the ball.
The Green Bay Packers are one of those teams. They didn’t draft a potential two-way player, but they are trying to convert a veteran receiver into a cornerback. Bo Melton, who was a seventh-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2022 but has spent the last two years in Green Bay, spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons as a reserve wideout and special teams player. He’s never played a snap on defense in an NFL game, but the Packers are using him as a defensive back at minicamp this week.
