Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter will participate in Colorado’s Pro Day on April 4. Since achieving that college football honor, the NFL community hasn’t seen the top prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft play much.
If Hunter performs well at the Pro Day, it could increase his demand for the draft and potentially lead to a higher-paying contract. The more teams bid for him, the more exciting it will get, as everyone is eager to see where he ultimately lands.
According to ESPN, Travis Hunter’s rare talent as both a cornerback and wide receiver has drawn comparisons to NFL legend Deion Sanders. His ability to shine on both offense and defense makes him a unique prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Scouts from several teams, including the Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Tennessee Titans, watched closely as Hunter showcased his skills. The Browns, who hold the No. 2 overall pick, seemed especially interested in him.

Reports from NFL Network suggest that their representatives were impressed by Hunter’s versatility, a rare trait in professional football.
But that’s not all. More than 20 NFL teams had scouts in attendance, making the event a crucial moment for Hunter. A standout performance at Colorado’s Pro Day could solidify him as a top draft pick and boost his chances of landing a major contract.
Urban Meyer sets high price for Travis Hunter
Famous football analyst Urban Meyer recently discussed his views on Travis Hunter in an interview with Colin Cowherd on The Herd. He praised Hunter’s rare talent and said NFL teams should be ready to pay top dollar for him.
Meyer believes Hunter should continue playing both offense and defense in the NFL, which is uncommon at the pro level. He called him a “once-in-a-lifetime player” and expressed confidence that Hunter’s skills would translate well to the league.
“I think he is a once-in-a-generation, once-in-a-lifetime player. He can do things I’ve not seen people do. His stamina, the quality of the kid, I’ve done some homework on him. We’ve covered him a few times,” Meyer said.
