The 2025 NFL Draft is finally here, and we already have fireworks. After rumors of a big trade, the Jacksonville Jaguars worked out a deal with the Cleveland Browns to go from No. 5 to No. 2 in order to select Colorado two-way superstar Travis Hunter.
In order to move up to No. 2, the Jaguars dealt picks No. 5, No. 36, No. 126 and their 2026 first-round pick. The Browns included the No. 104 pick and No. 200 pick along with the second overall pick.
Hunter is truly a unique player and his scouting reports certainly recognize this. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein gave Hunter a two-part pro comparison. He compared Hunter to DeVonta Smith as a receiver and Darius Slay as a cornerback.
Hunter is one of the most fascinating draft prospects in NFL history. The NFL has never seen a player enter the league as a well-rounded prospect on both offense and defense.
As such, Travis Hunter is the No. 2 player in the 2025 NFL Draft, according to ClutchPoints’ Big Board. He is second only to Abdul Carter.
Hunter started his collegiate career at Jackson State in 2022. He followed Deion Sanders to Colorado in 2023 and had two dynamite seasons for the Buffaloes.
Hunter had an incredible 2024 season with Colorado. He logged 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a receiver. He also had 35 tackles, 11 passes defensed, one forced fumble, and four interceptions as a cornerback.
