Travis Hunter's 'fisherman' habit makes being a 2-way star possible, Browns coach says

If the Cleveland Browns draft Travis Hunter with the second overall pick on Thursday night, head coach Kevin Stefanski is confident that the two-way star will be able to maximize time.

                   
                       

Top NFL Draft prospect You are not allowed to view links.

While some NFL coaches have expressed reservations about being a two-way star at the professional level, one coach seems to believe it's possible. 

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login head coach Kevin Stefanski said he spoke with the former Colorado star about those concerns. He said based on their conversation, he believes Hunter is "equipped to do both." 

"You know, I remember having a conversation with him about, 'There's only so many hours in the day, so you're going to have to meet extra with this coach or that coach,' and he made a comment that he's a fisherman. He gets up at 5 in the morning quite often, so that's not a problem for him in terms of maximizing his day."

Stefanski added that Hunter "is somebody that is uniquely equipped to do both."

Hunter is projected to be selected by the Browns with the No. 2 overall pick, and the move would make sense for the Heisman Trophy winner based on Stefanski's remarks.

"It's going to be interesting to see how they do it, wherever he goes. But to say that you're going to be completely immersed in everything that there is to know on offense and everything there is to (know on) defense, I don't know if there's enough hours in the day for a player to be able to do that and to have every detail locked down," Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said last week. 

"You could certainly do it, I would think, on one side of the ball and then have some sort of a package on the other side of the ball, which is my guess is how the team will do it, wherever he goes."

Last season, Hunter played 713 snaps on offense and 748 snaps on defense and was still incredibly productive despite the enormous amount of snaps. He had 96 catches for 1,258 yards with 15 touchdowns as a wide receiver, while he had 35 tackles with four interceptions, 11 passes defended, and one forced fumble as a cornerback.
