The main NFL draft prospect Travis hinter He has made clear his intentions for his rookie season: he only intends to play for a team that will use it on both sides of the ball. While some NFL trainers have expressed reservations about being a bidirectional star at a professional level, a coach seems to believe that it is possible.
In statements to the media on Wednesday, Cleveland Browns Chief coach Kevin Stefanski said he spoke with former Colorado star about those concerns. He said that, according to his conversation, he believes that Hunter is “equipped to do both.”

“You know, I remember having a conversation with him about: ‘There are only so many hours in the day, so you will have to meet more with this coach or that coach’ and made a comment that he is a fisherman. He gets up at 5 in the morning quite frequently, so that is not a problem for him in terms of maximizing his day.”

Stefanski added that Hunter “is someone who is uniquely equipped to do both.”
Hunter is expected to be selected by the Browns with the general selection number 2, and the movement would make sense for the winner of the Heisman trophy based on Stefanski’s comments.
Hunter recently said that he would prefer to leave football completely than to be caught in one position.
“He will never play football again,” he said CBS Sports. “Because I’ve been doing it all my life, and I love being in the football field. I feel that I could master each side of the ball, so I really enjoy doing it.”

Some NFL The coaches have questioned the reality of that result.
“It will be interesting to see how they do it, wherever I go. But say that it will be completely immersed in everything you have to know in the offensive and everything you have to (know) defense, I do not know if there are enough hours in the day so that a player can do that and have every detail blocked,” the coach of the Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh, said last week.
“You could certainly do it, I think, on one side of the ball and then have some type of package on the other side of the ball, which is my assumption of how the team will do, wherever it goes.”

Last season, Hunter played 713 snapshots in the offensive and 748 snapshots in defense and was still incredibly productive despite the enormous amount of photos. He had 96 trapped for 1,258 yards with 15 touchdowns as an open receiver, while he had 35 cups with four interceptions, 11 defended passes and a forced loose ball like a corner.
