INDIANAPOLIS — Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter insists he’s a different kind of football player.
He’s just waiting until March to put on his dazzling show for NFL scouts.
The two-way star said Thursday he does not intend to work out with defensive backs on Friday or receivers on Saturday at the NFL’s annual scouting combine at Lucas Oil Stadium and instead will wait until pro day at the University of Colorado — he played in Boulder the past two years after spending his freshman season at Jackson State — to give everyone a glimpse of his uncanny skills.
“I’ve been doing this for a long time, so I feel like I can keep doing it,” he said, acknowledging he hopes to play both positions as a pro. “Hopefully they’ll let me go out there 100% (at both), but that’s up to the organization.”
Perhaps no prospect in the combine era has come to Indianapolis with more hype.
