Jets aim to trade for dual-threat star Travis Hunter

The 2025 NFL Draft is coming up soon, from April 24 to April 26. One player at the center of attention is Travis Hunter. He is known for his unique ability to play both as a wide receiver and cornerback. Many experts believe he will be a top-five pick. There is ongoing debate about whether Hunter will be allowed to play both positions in the NFL. Some teams might want him to focus on just one. Despite this uncertainty, Hunter is determined to show that he can excel at both. He recently addressed comments made by an NFL star, saying he knows he has to prove himself. Hunter said, “I still got to prove it. I just can’t go to the league and not show up how I'm supposed to." The New York Jets are considering a bold move to grab Hunter. According to a recent mock draft, they might trade up from the No. 7 pick to the No. 5 pick to secure him. This trade could involve giving up their first-round pick and a third-round pick in 2025. Analysts believe Hunter could fill gaps for the Jets at both wide receiver and cornerback. In the 2024 college season, Hunter had impressive stats, with 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a wide receiver. On defense, he made 35 tackles, forced one fumble, and had four interceptions. The Jets have been seeking a player who can strengthen their offense and defense. Hunter’s ability to play both roles could drastically change the team’s dynamics. The big question remains: will New York take the chance to draft one of the most exciting players in the draft?
