Incomparable Travis Hunter has little left to prove as 2025 NFL Draft prospect

By his sophomore year at Collins Hill High School outside Atlanta, Travis Hunter was already drawing comparisons to one of the greatest football players who’d ever lived. “He’s the best football player I’ve seen in my life,” Lenny Gregory, Hunter’s high school coach, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ahead of his senior year. Not only are his ball skills the absolute best among college defensive backs, Hunter’s ball skills would be among the best in the NFL if he lined up for a team tomorrow. There is not another player in college football — on offense or defense — who can track the ball, locate it, pluck it out of the air and maintain balance on Hunter’s level.
