Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has experienced many highs and lows in his career and has earned a reputation for being a mentor to younger players. The multiple-time All-Pro has recently shared his thoughts on Travis Hunter's versatility playing both ways as a projected top NFL Draft prospect.
"He's gonna have to prove that he can do it. Nobody has ever played every single play on both sides. When Deion (Sanders) did it, he was in, like, nickel. He was in certain packages," said Kelce during a recent episode of the New Heights podcast. "In the NFL, they'll have to scheme up around him getting too exhausted. They really have to weigh that into their play-calling, both offensively and defensively."
The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner sent his response to Kelce during a recent episode of the "Travis Hunter Show."
"Like he said, I have to prove that I can do it. So that's my main thing. Imma prove that I'm gonna do it, and I can do it. So he's not telling no lie. I still got to prove it." Said Hunter. "I just can't go to the league, and they just, 'Oh, here you go, Trav, you could do all this,' and I don't go out and show up how I'm supposed to show up."
During his last college season, Hunter played wide receiver and caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns. Defensively at cornerback, he had 35 tackles, a forced fumble, four interceptions, and 11 defended passes.
