East rutherford, nj – if Colorado two -way player Travis Hunter gets elaboration New York Giants Overall, the third next week will get their wishes to play corner and wide receiver at the NFL level.
“We should not be afraid to play on both sides of the ball,” said Giants CEO Joe Schoen on Wednesday during his annual pre -press conference.
Schoen would not specify whether New York would emphasize one position over another for Hunter if he lands with the team. Instead, he noted that the giants are in a unique place where they have three good receivers and are satisfied with their secondary. That would give them opportunities.
At the beginning of this week, Hunter explained that he would not be fine with the team to tell him that he would be limited to a wide receiver or corner corner. His reaction would be rough.
“He’s never playing football again,” Hunter CBS Sports said. “Because I have done it all my life and I love to be on the football field. I feel like I could control on each side of the ball so I really enjoy it.”
One CEO of NFL said ESPN that Hunter can be a Bowl player in both position. It’s talented and qualified in both. However, it seems that the consensus between the NFL sources is that its primary position in the league should be corner.
Hunter played 86% of Colorado’s films last season, by far the highest in FBS and quite even divided between attack and defense. Last season, Carolina Panthers corner package Dane Jackson He played 48% of the overall pictures of his team, most of the NFL player.
Schoen knows that for Hunter it would be “difficult” to pull a double decline at the NFL level. There are physical and mental aspects that could be demanding.
“We look at the workload and yardage every day and then we will have to be resolved for me, because the crime is very difficult to learn and then defense on a weekly basis, it is no longer a college,” Hey, that’s our basic defense and we are going to play 3 against Kansas. “” There are many more weekly things like the match that our coaches are doing. So just how much you can do mentally, where you can go out and execute, and they can believe you to do your job. “
The giants may not have any word in the decision. First, it must be assured that Hunter is available. Is considered among the highest options for Cleveland browns With the second overall selection.
In addition, the giants will have to decide whether to bypass Quarterback with selection No. 3. Hunter’s College Teammate, SHEN SANDERS SANDERSHe was associated with them throughout the process and has a private exercise with a team scheduled for Thursday in Boulder in Colorado.
Schoen said that giants are in a position where he “does not think it is mandatory” to develop a quarterback with Russell Wilson, JAMEIS WINSTON and Tommy Devito on the list. They will not force the selection to the most important position in football at the top of this year’s design.
If the talent of a blue chip or a generation is available, “you do not transmit this type of player,” Schoen said.
Since Hunter is trying to do something that we have not completely seen in the NFL level in recent years, it could apparently qualify as a blue chip or generation.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t doubt the child. It’s the type of athlete,” Schoen said. “It had this type of production, the number of images playing in the game, does not fit, goes, carries a drink of water and returns to the playground.
“So he has the type of athletics, he has the right thinking, it’s a great child. So I wouldn’t doubt him.”
