‘Telling no lie’ – Travis Hunter sends clear message to Travis Kelce over his future ahead of 2025 NFL Draft
Kelce sent a warning to the star and the teams who could draft him
TRAVIS HUNTER has responded to Travis Kelce’s call for him to prove he can play both offense and defense in the NFL.
The Colorado Buffaloes star won the Heisman Trophy last year for his ability to play multiple roles on field.

Hunter played wide receiver and cornerback in college football and he believes he can do the same in the NFL.
The 21-year-old is expected to be one of the first Draft picks but he was warned by Kelce that he will have to prove he can play both positions.
Hunter responded, saying: “Like he (Kelce) said, I have to prove that I can do it… I’m going to prove that I’m going to do it, and I can do it.
“He’s not telling no lie. I still got to prove it. I just can’t go to the league, and they just,’Oh, here you go, Trav, you could do all this,’ and I don’t go out and show up how I’m supposed to show up.”
No player has featured in offense and defense in the NFL since Chuck Bednarik between 1949 and 1962.
Many have suggested Hunter will have to pick one position to specialise in if he wants to forge a successful career in the League, including Kelce.
The Kansas City Chiefs star said of Hunter playing two roles: “It’s 100 per cent possible, he’s gonna have to prove he can do it. No one has ever played every single play on both sides.
“When Deion (Sanders) did it, he was in nickel.
“He was in certain packages… in the NFL, they’ll have to scheme up around him getting too exhausted.
“They really have to weigh that into their play-calling, both offensively and defensively.

“I just think that mentality – it can wear a guy out… I’m not saying that he can’t do it because I was blown away by what he could do in college in terms of playing every single down.
“If he is going to do that, I think it’s smarter to scheme it up to where you know you’re not putting him in a vulnerable position to get tired out faster.
“I think he’s proven that he needs to play on both sides of the ball.
He continued: “I think it’s easier for him to be on the field all the time as a defensive player and then offensively coming in on certain plays. I think that is so much easier… he’s a f****n’ all-around athlete, dude.
“You can put him anywhere on the football field. You can give him the reverses, you can do anything with him on the football field… when you watch him run, you’re like “Yeah, we should probably throw him the ball.'”
Hunter’s coach at the Buffaloes Deion Sanders believes the plan is for his player to feature in both roles in the NFL – and believes teams should not draft him if they are not prepared to do so.
