The two-way star that finished first in Heisman voting is favored to go second in the 2025 NFL Draft — but there is plenty of time for things to change.
Travis Hunter was recognized as the best player in college football last season, dominating on both sides of the ball for Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes.
Now, he is expected to be selected within the first five picks come April’s draft.
Let’s check out the odds for where Hunter will land at DraftKings Sportsbook as of April 8.
Which team will Travis Hunter be drafted by?
Browns: -270 (bet $10 to win $13.70 total) Giants: +190 (bet $10 to win $29 total) Patriots: +950 (bet $10 to win $105 total) Jaguars: +2000 (bet $10 to win $210 total)
At some point during the pre-draft process, Hunter was favored to go to the Browns, he was favored to go to the Patriots and favored to go to the Giants.
Now, it is the Browns at No. 2 once more.
In FOX Sports NFL Draft analyst Rob Rang’s most recent mock draft, he has Hunter going No. 4 to the Pats.
“The Patriots have other bigger needs, but at this point, Hunter is just too good to ignore. He’s the best player in this draft and one of the most unique players I’ve evaluated in 25 years in the business. Mike Vrabel will love Hunter’s instincts and tenacity on defense — almost as much as Drake Maye will appreciate Hunter’s sharp routes and sticky hands.”
In college, Hunter was the stud of all studs.
He led the Big 12 in receptions (96) and receiving touchdowns (15) last season, while hauling in 1,258 receiving yards in 13 games as well.
But that was Hunter the receiver.
Hunter the cornerback? Well, he had four interceptions and 11 passes defended, cementing his status as arguably the Buffaloes’ best offensive and best defensive player.
Come season’s end, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy, the Lott Trophy, and the Walter Camp, Chuck Bednarik and Fred Biletnikoff awards. He was a unanimous first-team All-American, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and AP College Football Player of the Year.
