I watched the Colorado vs Baylor game last night, and wow. What a dude.
I doubt the pros will let him play both ways - frankly, I think Deion's the only coach crazy enough to let him do it. But in the hoopla about him being a legitimate two-way star, I think we lose sight of what a special CB prospect this guy is. Patrick Peterson-esque.
Seriously, where do you even poke holes in Hunter's game. 6'1" 185, rocket fast, top-flight ball skills, great tackler in space, and he's just a dawg physically. He's the kind of CB you could match up on anybody.
I didn't see the same type of polish to him as WR. He doesn't really separate with great route running or nuance, most of his plays just come by being more explosive than the guy covering him. With his pure athleticism and ball skills, I think he could start in the NFL yesterday as a field-stretcher #2, but I'm not sure if he is a high volume #1. And playing offense negates the hands-on physical part of his game, which literally won the game for Colorado last night when he put his hat in there.
Anyway, good WR prospect, unbelievable CB prospect, deserves the Heisman, and there's no way he doesn't go top 5. The Cowboys will have to have a lot more Saints game in them to draft this stud.
