The Heisman winner won’t work out in Indy
Travis Hunter’s trip to Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine reportedly just got a lot less stressful.
Denver Broncos beat reporter Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette tweeted Thursday morning that NFL officials told him Hunter has opted to skip all workouts during the combine.
Hunter, a two-way superstar at wide receiver and cornerback during his time at Colorado, raised some eyebrows when he declared his position at the combine as only defensive back and not receiver. Now, the Heisman winner will join CU quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who also decided to skip all workouts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Hunter still held his scheduled media availability before the combine in Indy, where he stated his desire to play on both sides of the ball at the professional level. He would later sit down for an interview with CBS Sports, alluding to the fact that we won’t work out during the combine.
“I’m not doing anything here,” Hunter told CBS Sports. “I’m waiting for my pro day.”
Barring any changes, Hunter will still work out at Colorado’s pro day in March, as well as Big 12 Pro Day from March 18th to 21st.
Three Buffs receivers, LaJohntay Wester, Jimmy Horn Jr. and Will Sheppard, will still work out at the NFL Scouting Combine. Colorado’s three pass catchers will get their chance to wow NFL scouts when it’s their turn to work out on Saturday, March 1st.
