Travis Hunter Boldly Claims Why He Should Be The First Overall Pick In The NFL Draft

Colorado standout Travis Hunter is undeniably a generational talent, serving as the heart and soul of the Buffaloes for the past two seasons under Deion Sanders . Alongside fellow standout Shedeur Sanders , both are projected as first-round picks in the upcoming NFL Draft .

Hunter's unique athleticism allows him to excel on both sides of the ball, making him a coveted prospect as a first-round talent at both wide receiver and cornerback—an astonishing feat.

In a recent appearance on Robert Griffin III and his wife’s podcast, " Outta Pocket with RG3 ," Hunter confidently stated his case for being the first overall pick in the NFL Draft.

"Whoever the first team on the board, that's where I wanna go," Hunter said. "Nobody does what I do. It's just that simple. I know a lot of people try to hate on me; I’ve been humble for too long."

Travis Hunter recently left the game against Kansas State due to a shoulder injury, but it’s not expected to be serious, and he’s on track to play this week.
