NFL mock draft from 33rd Team has Travis Hunter outside the top-5

Travis Hunter may now be a Heisman Trophy-winner, but for NFL Draft purposes, it feels like he’s a curiosity.

Will he play cornerback mainly? Will he be a mostly full-time wide receiver? Will he play a ton of defense with some offense sprinkled in? We know that he’s an elite athlete, either way.

In our latest NFL mock draft from Christian D’Andrea, Hunter went first overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars. But in the latest 2024 mock from The 33rd Team, Hunter dropped all the way to No. 7, where the Jets could get him. Here’s the reasoning from Ian Valentino on why:

Another Colorado star lands in the Big Apple as the Jets quickly snatch Travis Hunter up and figure out what to do later.

Hunter profiles best at cornerback with his ball skills, and the Jets don’t have as pressing of a need for a receiver in the meantime. Plus, Sauce Gardner can help Hunter maximize his talent at the position.
