Travis Hunter’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Travis Hunter enters the 2025 NFL Draft as one of the best prospects in the class, and he also profiles as one of the most intriguing players in recent memory since he legitimately qualifies as a top-five pick at two positions. He is truly a one-of-one type of NFL prospect. Hunter possesses below-average overall size and length, but offers a once-in-a-generation type of overall athleticism.
As a wide receiver, Hunter can use his elite burst, bend, and speed to carve up coverage defenders and offer RAC dynamism, and as a cornerback, he can match, transition, blanket WRs in trail, read routes, and hawk in front of passes. His mobility profile is generational, as are his ball skills, and that combination is lethal on either side of the ball.

Travis Hunter’s Latest NFL Draft Projection
PFSN’s Ian Cummings projected Hunter to be drafted second in his most recent 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
Cummings said, “Next to a QB, the Cleveland Browns’ biggest need is more playmaking talent. There’s arguably no QB worth taking at No. 2, and Andrew Berry has said he views Travis Hunter as a WR first.
“Hunter is a unicorn simply with his high-end two-way ability, but as a WR, he has devastating potential as a three-level threat. He can carve up defenders with his routes, generate high-end RAC with his speed, agility, and bend, and make high-flying grabs.”

Everything you’ve heard about Travis Hunter has validated his standing as a top prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft, and we’re here to cosign that stance. Hunter is WR1 or CB1 at whichever position he plays — but at CB, his generational playmaking ability is alluring.
An argument could be made that Hunter’s preferred brand of physicality — deconstruction over obstruction — can be more easily applied at WR. But there’s no replicating the way Hunter moves. He’s at the peak of explosiveness and fluidity, which sets a rare foundation.
Hunter is best in zone coverage, where he can use his elite route recognition, sink, and closing speed to snare ill-fated throws before they reach their targets. But he can also match in man with his quickness and effectively erase one side of the field while giving WRs catch-point claustrophobia.

No surprising revelations are being made here: Travis Hunter should be an All-Pro wherever he plays. It remains to be seen whether he’ll play at CB or WR more often in the NFL. But judging off his offensive tape, he’s the WR1 of the 2025 NFL Draft by a sizable margin.
The Colorado offense ran through Hunter in 2024, even as he put up a legendary campaign on the defensive side of the ball. Catching passes from Shedeur Sanders, Hunter racked up 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 scores (plus one rushing touchdown), and ultimately earned the Heisman Trophy.
At 6’0″, 188 pounds, Hunter isn’t an imposing size threat, but everything else about his game is terrifying for defenders. His mix of instant acceleration, gravity-defying bend, and hyperactive agility makes him 1-of-1, and he has some of the best ball skills of this generation.
