The New York Giants are open to the idea of drafting two-way player Travis Hunter and allowing him to play both cornerback and wide receiver in the NFL. General manager Joe Schoen expressed the team's willingness to utilize Hunter in this dual role if he is selected with the third overall pick. Hunter, who played a significant number of snaps on both offense and defense in college, has shown versatility and talent that could make him a candidate for success at either position in the league. While there are challenges associated with playing on both sides of the ball at the professional level, Schoen acknowledged Hunter's athleticism and mindset as assets that could help him excel.
Despite speculation about the Giants potentially targeting a quarterback in the draft, Schoen emphasized that the team would not pass on a blue-chip or generational talent like Hunter if given the opportunity. With Hunter also drawing interest from other teams like the Cleveland Browns, the Giants face decisions regarding their draft strategy and player selections. While the uniqueness of Hunter's potential dual-role performance presents challenges, there is confidence in his abilities and determination to succeed in the NFL.
