Travis Hunter divides NFL franchises: One head coach shoots down two-way potential, GM disagrees

The smoke is starting to clear with the 2025 NFL Draft a week away. Cam Ward is now the heavy favorite to go No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans. After differing streams of speculation, it sounds like Travis Hunter will go No. 2 to the Cleveland Browns. Then come the New York Giants, who seem to be eyeing Abdul Carter more than anyone else. Anything can happen after that, but that’s what the start of the draft is looking like.

The Browns and Giants are intriguing case studies. If Ward were available, both teams would likely take him. But with Shedeur Sanders having one too many question marks, both teams look likely to pass on quarterback for a freaky athlete. Hunter is considered a generational talent by many, although his two-way potential at the next level has been questioned. It’s not just analysts wondering if he can really pull it off.

Sanders protects Travis Hunter and calls him a once in a generation talent with God given gifts

John Harbaugh doesn’t think Travis Hunter can play both WR and CB in NFL full-time

Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta and head coach John Harbaugh both expressed doubts recently about Hunter’s ability to play both wide receiver and cornerback in the NFL.

  • DeCosta: “If we’re talking about a guy like Travis Hunter, we would probably want to put him at one position.”
  • Harbaugh: “But to say that you’re going to be completely immersed in everything that there is to know on offense and everything there is to defense, I don’t know if there’s enough hours in the day for a player to be able to do that and to have every detail locked down.”

The Ravens won’t be getting Hunter anyway, so it’s a moot point. But they likely aren’t the only GM-HC pairing that feel that way about Hunter.

On the other end of the spectrum is Giants general manager Joe Schoen, who would be completely for Hunter playing both positions for his team.

That’s notable because the Giants are picking right after the Browns. If Cleveland surprises everyone and passes on Hunter, the Giants would likely scoop him up and throw him to the wolves on both sides of the ball.

Pacers vs. Thunder NBA Finals: Alex Caruso has been giving OKC a little bit of everything — including a lot more minutes

OKLAHOMA CITY — Through the first seven and a half months of this NBA season, Alex Caruso had only topped 30 minutes in a game twice.The first: a late-March meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers, when injuries to Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren pressed him into duty in the Thunder’s starting lineup. The second: Game 4 of the 2024 Western Conference finals, when the veteran super-sub skittered all over the court, guarding Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert and every Timberwolf in between in a hard-fought 128-126 win that drew Oklahoma City within one win of the 2025 NBA Finals.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementNow that the Thunder are actually in the 2025 NBA Finals, though? Caruso has played 30-plus twice in four Finals games — the last two, now that you mention it.As the philosopher once said, “There are no coincidences.”That philosopher’s name?

Roosevelt in 1945.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementShe apparently did so in defiance of the Dodgers' instructions, as she posted a TikTok following the performance showing an unidentified employee explicitly telling her the song should be in English."We are going to do the song in English today, so I don't know if that wasn't translated — er, communicated," the employee said.Nezza's caption: "Watch the Dodgers tell me I can't sing the Spanish Star Spangled Banner that Roosevelt literally commissioned in 1945 — so I did it anyway."
