Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter is determined to continue playing both offense and defense at the NFL level.

Hunter, who's widely projected to be a top-five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, told CBS Sports' Garrett Podell that he would rather stop playing football than limit himself to one position.

"It's never playing football again," Hunter said. "Because I've been doing it my whole life, and I love being on the football field. I feel like I could dominate on each side of the ball, so I really enjoy doing it."

Hunter also shared in the interview that he made it clear to NFL teams that he wants to continue playing both sides of the ball, which he said hasn't been an issue for any clubs he's spoken to yet.

The 21-year-old caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a receiver at Colorado last season and added 35 tackles, four interceptions, and 11 defended passes at cornerback.
