Will Travis Hunter be forced to choose a position in the NFL?

Students often don't stray too far from what their teachers have taught them. Deion Sanders has taken Travis Hunter under his wing because the elite Colorado football coach knows that the young dual threat has the potential to be an NFL star. But, there is some worry about Hunter having to choose what position he will play in the big league. Will he be forced to choose?
Well, a player in the NFL has already played both defense and offense in their career. Deion Sanders was the one who carried this out during his stint with the Dallas Cowboys. However, Coach Prime only became a great pass catcher during his tenure in the league. Travis Hunter could very well experience the same thing but this does not mean that he is not willing to try.
In fact, Hunter gladly accepts the challenge of being both a wide receiver and cornerback once he gets drafted into the NFL: “My goal is to continue to be a two-way player. If given the opportunity, I’d strive to continue making an impact on both ends of the field, helping my team wherever they need me most. One of my greatest strengths is my versatility as a player, and I love the challenge of learning and excelling in both roles and pushing my limits.”
Unfortunately, this decision when it comes to rotations and permanent positions does not fall under his lap. His coaches and front office will be the one to pick whether or not he continues the same style of play he had in Jackson State and Colorado. But, his willingness to be great on both ends of the field will definitely be considered.
