En route to helping lead Deion Sanders ' squad to a 9-4 record this past season, Hunter dominated on both sides of the football, playing around 1,500 snaps on the year. He won eight major awards, headlined by the Heisman Trophy (most outstanding player), Bednarik Award (best defensive player) and the Hornung Award (most versatile).

Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter is expected to be one of the first players off the board in the NFL Draft Thursday night. Hunter won the Heisman Trophy in 2024, the first Colorado player to take home college football's most coveted award in 30 years.

What an NFL team could do is determine what need is greater, make that Hunter's primary position, and use him selectively on the other side of the ball.
