Whispers in the Draft Room: Hunter, Sanders, and Banks Stir the Storm
With the 2025 NFL Draft just days away, the Cleveland Browns are expected to select Travis Hunter, the versatile Colorado wide receiver and cornerback, with the second overall pick. Several sources have confirmed this potential move, which would clear the way for Penn State’s Abdul Carter to land with the Giants. Hunter, a reigning Heisman winner, has been clear about his desire to continue playing both ways at the NFL level, even suggesting he might sit out if forced into a single position. However, with the Browns’ apparent willingness to let him play both offense and defense, this dream could soon become a reality for Hunter.
In other draft news, Shedeur Sanders, Hunter’s teammate and quarterback at Colorado, has become one of the most polarizing figures in the draft process. Scouts are struggling to get an unbiased read on Sanders, with many attributing the challenge to the influence of his father, Deion Sanders, who also serves as his coach. Deion’s dual role as both a father and a Hall of Fame NFL player has made it difficult for NFL personnel to gain a clear understanding of Shedeur’s prospects.
