From the moment Travis Hunter showed the football world he was great at two positions, capable of impacting a game as both a wide receiver and cornerback, fans have been wondering which position he would stick to in the NFL.
On Thursday, we might’ve gotten our first clue.
The NFL published its full list of prospects invited to the scouting combine, which begins on Feb. 24, and of course Hunter was among the 329 players on the list. But with the list broken up into position groups, the Heisman winner could only be listed in one place and the NFL has him with the cornerbacks.

Now, let’s be clear about something, just because Hunter is practicing and doing drills with cornerbacks at the combine doesn’t mean he doesn’t have plans to try his hand at wide receiver — or play both positions in the NFL. Until he speaks on the matter, we won’t truly know his intentions.
It’s also possible a team takes the decision out of hands. Hunter will be a high first-round pick. He has the third-best odds (+475) to go No. 1 overall at BetMGM. A team taking him that high could dictate his position to him.
