00:00our reigning heisman trophy winner in travis hunter the two-way superstar at the college level

00:06expects to hear his name early and often on thursday night next week in green bay his odds

00:14now to be that second overall selection minus 470 for travis hunter his odds everywhere in the top

00:23five as you will see but again to be that second overall pick is minus 470 the selection the

00:30cleveland browns have at this moment the question zinno is not so much travis hunter or his prospect

00:36prowess in the nfl draft or where exactly he goes the question to you is about travis hunter the

00:44player do you expect him to play on both sides of the football in the nfl i do initially um i think

00:52that teams will try to exploit that but it's not realistic for him at the nfl level to think that

01:00he can play you know eight plays on an offensive series that end up in a touchdown and then do a

01:07kickoff and then play the next nine plays on defense and do that for 60 minutes his body won't last his

01:13body won't hold up uh and even if it does for a season or two it's going to slowly start to it's

01:18just not you know as we all know the level the speed the physicality of the game in the nfl

01:22is a different level than it is in college and guess what he's not doing he's not facing texas

01:26tech on sunday he's facing you know the green bay packers you're right he's not facing tcu's defense

01:32guess who he's facing oh yes that's right it's the baltimore ravens like so it's one of these things

01:38where um he's just not gonna be able to hold up um he's not a terribly big guy he's not a terribly

01:44physical guy he's incredible athlete and an incredible specimen but i don't know if his body can

01:49hold up on both sides of the ball i think teams would want to put him at receiver first i think

01:54they would put him in certain nickel packages on defense um you know in third situations where he

01:59could he could literally lock down one one third of the field right and use it that way but i would

02:05expect he would have a heavier workload on one side of the ball than the other now again i would

02:09think him playing corner full time and being put in offensive packages would be easier to get him in

02:15and out because those situations you can sort of force a little bit more on the offensive end

02:19as opposed to the defensive side of the ball but again i i think he would be heavier on one side than

02:24the other
