It is VERY IMPRESSIVE that he is able to play both ways in modern CFB. But, he’s not insanely good at either side of the ball. He’s not going to play both ways in the NFL, so teams are going to choose between a good corner or an okay WR. Is that worth a #1 pick?

This feels like it’s about to be a gimmick Heisman as well. Ashton Jeanty deserves it.

ETA: I originally said he is the most overrated player I’ve seen. That is far from correct.

I’m not saying he’s an “okay” receiver in college. I’m saying I don’t see him being the next Larry Fitzgerald or the next Darrell Revis. I think he will be decent at either position in the NFL. But is that a #1 pick when you don’t get the benefit of him both ways?

Him begging for the Heisman is kinda cringe.

Colorado is 8-2 so the hate has to shift from Deion to the players.

My god you are an idiot. You must not have an athletic bone in your body. I see you as a 300 plus pound burger eating slob in your mommas basement

Obviously an athletic freak & could easily win the award for the best player in college football.

I’m not an idiot. I just think that Travis Hunter is overrated. The fact that my opinion draws such an extreme opinion from his fanboys kinda proves my point

Doesn't he have like 1,000 yards and 9 TDs playing both ways?

I’m not his fanboy. I’m just able to see a great athlete when he comes along. You saying he is overated is ignorant.

I’m admittedly ignorant but I thought he is supposed to be an extremely good corner.

Pretty much. Also has 3ints and 1 forced fumble.

You didn't just say overrated, you said the most overrated player you've ever seen. This is where you lose credibility in that statement.

You’re a moron with ZERO credibilty. … on any given play (offense or defense) he can change the game. Dude steps up when it matters most. Without Hunter, Colorado is 5-5 at best.

Jeanty has had a very solid year and a deserving candidate. Problem is, Boise has not played in a nationally televised game during prime time. I’ve only seen his highlights on ESPN

He’s top 15 in every WR category while playing defense full time too
