“I Can’t Say He’s the Best Corner I’ve Ever Seen in College”: Ryan Clark Details Travis Hunter’s Skill Set as a Two-Way Player

Whether youre a believer or a naysayer, everyone seems to have an opinion on the two-way football sensation that is Travis Hunter.

From his 2024 Heisman-winning campaign to his assertion that he will in fact routinely play both sides of the ball in the NFL, the Colorado product is well on his way to becoming the next face of the league.However, some feel as if the hype surrounding Hunter isnt as big as it should be.

During a recent appearance on Podcast P with Paul George, the former Pittsburgh Steeler, Ryan Clark, suggested that the football community has failed to properly inform the masses of how talented the former Buffalo is.According to Clark, while Hunter may not be the best at any one position, his overall talent and capabilities to play both DB and WR to a sufficient level are nothing short of impressive.Travis Hunter played the whole game on offense, and then would switch and go play the entire game on defense.

I cant say that hes the best wide receiver Ive ever seen in college, hes not.

I cant say hes the best corner Ive ever seen in college.

He is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best to have ever done both simultaneously.Given the unprecedented nature of Hunters skill set, many struggle with finding an adequate NFL player to compare him to.

However, the one-time Super Bowl champion in Clark suggested that Hunter may be closer to the legendary Charles Woodson than perhaps anybody else.Charles Woodson is my favorite football player of all time.

I used to watch him at Michigan, and they would put him in the game for like 15 plays on offense, 10 plays on offense, and hed return a punt.

You knew that when he got in the game, he was getting the ball, because they werent going to waste him.While Clark certainly seems to believe that Hunter is more than capable of performing at a high level, he also has some concerns for what Hunters day-to-day life may look like.

In noting that both offensive players and defensive players are required to spend hours a day studying playbooks and film just to master one position, the one-off pro bowler couldnt help but fear that there may not be enough hours in the day for the rookie.Considering that Hunter will also need a fair bit of rest for the sake of his own safety and well-being, Clark struggled to envision the perfect schedule.I think were trying to simplify it to What is it going to be like when the ball gets kicked off? What is his life going to be like? He already, in talking about load management, he wouldnt practice the first day of the week at Colorado...

At 21, 22 years old, people dont want to walk in and say Hey man, when all these veterans are still practicing on Wednesday, you get the day off.

Its going to take such a toll for that young man to do that.Jacksonvilles experiment with Hunter will likely be a learning experience for everyone.

While some growing pains and the occasional conflict of schedule are bound to happen, the project still has the potential to turn the football meta upside down, making it well worth the risk.The post I Cant Say Hes the Best Corner Ive Ever Seen in College: Ryan Clark Details Travis Hunters Skill Set as a Two-Way Player appeared first on The SportsRush..
