Giants GM States Travis Hunter Can Play Both Sides in NFL Draft

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen stated the team would be open to allowing Travis Hunter to play both wide receiver and cornerback if they select him with the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. Hunter has publicly insisted he will only play for an NFL team that lets him play both positions, emphasizing his lifelong passion and confidence in excelling on both sides of the ball. While Schoen praised Hunter's athleticism and mental fortitude, he acknowledged the unprecedented physical and mental demands of playing both ways in the NFL compared to college. Hunter's remarkable college stats and versatility have led some scouts to view him as the top prospect at both receiver and cornerback. However, most NFL insiders believe his primary role should be at cornerback, noting the considerable challenge of managing such a heavy workload at the professional level. The Giants' current roster depth at receiver and in the secondary could afford them flexibility if they decide to draft Hunter.
