NFL Coach Says Travis Hunter Will Probably Be 'Best' Player in Next 10 Drafts

There's no question Travis Hunter is one of the most popular players in this year's NFL draft class, but one coach had especially high praise for the Colorado two-way star.

“We’ve never seen a guy like this," an NFL coach told Fox Sports' Jay Glazer. "He’s not just the best player in this draft he’s so special he’d probably be the best guy in the next 10!”

Hunter is the No. 1 overall player on Bleacher Report's NFL Big Board, rated higher than projected top-10 picks like Miami's Cam Ward, Penn State's Abdul Carter and others.

In his final season with the Buffs, Hunter hauled in 96 receptions for 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. On the defensive side, he had 35 tackles, 11 passes defended, four interceptions and a forced fumble.

Following his historic season, Hunter took home the Heisman Trophy, becoming just the second defensive player to win the coveted award, alongside Charles Woodson, who also played on both sides of the ball.

After excelling on offense and defense in college, Hunter has plans to do the same in the NFL. He said last week that he'd rather quit football than not get to play on both offense and defense.

"It's never playing football again," Hunter told Garrett Podell of CBS Sports. "Because I've been doing it my whole life, and I love being on the football field. I feel like I could dominate on each side of the ball, so I really enjoy doing it."

Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department projects Hunter to be taken by the Cleveland Browns with the second pick, only behind Ward at No. 1. Should the Browns pick Hunter, they'll get both a dominant wide receiver and a lockdown defensive back.

Whether he'll be the best player in the next 10 drafts remains to be seen.
