The Athletic's Jeff Howe writes that if Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter isn't the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft, he will draw serious consideration from the Cleveland Browns at No. 2, according to league sources. Because of his elite athleticism and ability to play both cornerback and receiver, Hunter is the most electric prospect in this year's draft class with the highest ceiling, but teams are still split on how to use him. The most popular opinion has been to play him as a full-time corner who can also be a part-time receiver -- maybe up to 15 plays per game -- since it's more difficult for a cornerback to get into the rhythm of the game while being on a rotational basis. Hunter would have a more lucrative career financially if he stuck to receiver full time, but he's committed to being a two-way player and hasn't made any positional demands with teams as the draft approaches.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerRead More News
