Travis Hunter’s 2025 NFL Draft Projection
Although Trayvis is still a while away from playing college football and potentially being drafted to the NFL, his older brother Travis is the recent Heisman Trophy winner and is expected by many to be one of the first players taken come next year’s NFL Draft.
This sentiment is shared by Pro Football Network’s Jacob Infante, who has Hunter being selected No. 3 overall by the New England Patriots in his latest 2025 NFL Mock Draft.
As Infante notes, “Drake Maye looks the part early in his NFL career, but the Patriots are lacking at several positions on both sides of the ball. If the 2025 NFL Draft ends up ordered like this, they could have the chance at arguably the top player in the class.
“As a wide receiver, Travis Hunter has the athleticism, route-running savvy, and ball skills needed to get open and make big plays. I project him even better as a cornerback, where his route-recognition skills are strong, and his ball skills would immediately put him in the NFL’s elite in that category.
“Pairing him and Christian Gonzalez in the secondary would give New England something truly special for its defense.”
