According to Merriam-Webster, a unicorn is defined as “something unusual, rare, or unique.” In a sports context, Shohei Ohtani certainly meets the description as the first two-way player since Babe Ruth, and a three-time MVP winner. However, it’s hard to find a unicorn on the gridiron with the specialization of players who normally stick to a single position.
Travis Hunter is attempting to become the NFL’s version of Ohtani as both a wide receiver and a defensive back, and Hunter’s potential next employer sees the Heisman winner as “something unusual, rare or unique.”
