Jayden Daniels Hypes 'Special' Travis Hunter After Heisman Trophy Win

Jayden Daniels doesn't know if Travis Hunter will be able to play both ways at the NFL level—or if the organization that drafts him will even allow him to try—but he does believe the Colorado two-way phenom should continue to believe in his ability to do so.

"I mean, he's an athlete," he told TMZ Sports. "I can't speak for the organization, but I think the organization will utilize him however it thinks is best. I know he's probably going to say he can play both ways. And respectfully so. He should be able to go out there and believe in his abilities, believe in his talent. He's a special player. We'll see what unfolds for him at the next level, but just know I'm always rooting for him."

Well, until the two players line up on opposite sides of the ball, that is.

The Washington Commanders' rookie quarterback is having a fantastic debut season, throwing for 3,303 yards, 22 touchdowns, eight interceptions, a 69.7 completion percentage, 737 rushing yards and an additional six scores on ground. He's a virtual lock to win the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year.

It remains to be seen if Hunter will be in the running next season for the award on offense or defense—or perhaps both.
