NFL Draft: Ravens HC John Harbaugh makes something clear about Travis Hunter

Travis Hunter is widely regarded as one of the top prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft, projected to be a high first-round pick. However, his unique versatility has sparked a major debate about which position he should play at the next level. The former Colorado Buffaloes star’s ability to shine both as a wide receiver and cornerback even led Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh to weigh in on the conversation.

The Browns could be a potential landing spot for the versatile player, which would mean Hunter might face the Ravens at least twice a season. With that in mind, Harbaugh shared his thoughts on his unique talent and what it could mean at the professional level.

“It’s going to be interesting to see how they do it, wherever he goes,” Harbaugh said to the press. “But to say that you’re going to be completely immersed in everything that there is to know on offense and everything there is to know on defense—I don’t know if there’s enough hours in the day for a player to be able to do that and have every detail locked down.

“You certainly can do it, I would think, on one side of the ball and then have some sort of a package on the other side of the ball, which is my guess is how the team will do it wherever he goes.”

Travis Hunter’s message to NFL teams

Travis Hunter’s unconventional playing style has drawn significant attention since his breakout in college football — and it’s stirring even more buzz ahead of the upcoming NFL Draft. Speaking to the media, Hunter shared his thoughts, admitting that many teams still aren’t quite sure how to handle his unique skill set.

“It’s a lot of teams that don’t know what to do with me,” Hunter told NBC Sports’ Chris Simms. “They’ve seen me do it at the college level. Nobody actually thought I’d be able to do it at the college level, so everybody is amazed that I’ve done it for this long and I’ve done it at a high level. A lot of teams don’t really know what they’re going to do with me. I think first day in the building they’re gonna see how much I can handle, and see what I can take in, and see how I perform.”

Where could Travis Hunter land in the NFL Draft?

Travis Hunter remains one of the most fascinating prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, and with his elite versatility as both a wide receiver and a cornerback, he’s drawing interest from several teams near the top of the board. Hunter’s unique two-way skill set makes him a rare asset, capable of impacting the game on both sides of the ball — a trait that could make him a top-five selection.

The Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 overall pick, and while they are widely expected to select a quarterback to kickstart a new era, Hunter’s talent is hard to ignore. However, the more likely landing spots begin just after that. The Cleveland Browns, picking second, could look to add a dynamic playmaker like Hunter, especially given their need for both help in the secondary and explosiveness on offense.

The New York Giants at No. 3 and the New England Patriots at No. 4 also represent intriguing possibilities. New York has a history of valuing elite athletes, and Hunter could contribute immediately as a WR1 or CB1. Meanwhile, the Patriots could see him as a foundational piece in their rebuild. Wherever he lands, Travis Hunter is poised to become one of the most exciting and talked-about players in the league from day one.
