FRISCO, Texas — Colorado Buffaloes all-purpose dynamo Travis Hunter has a major question attached to him despite being CBS Sports’ top overall prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Should Hunter be drafted as a cornerback or as a wide receiver?
He earned the 2024 Heisman Trophy for his efforts while playing both positions at a high level. Current Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer remains close with Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, as Zimmer was was Sanders’ defensive backs coach in all five of his All-Pro seasons in Dallas, and he remains a close friend of Sanders to this day. Zimmer visited Sanders and his teams at both Jackson State and Colorado, and the two talk on a near weekly basis. However, he and Sanders haven’t had a chance to connect yet since Saturday when Hunter took home the Heisman.
