Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders made a draft day prediction involving former teammate Travis Hunter. When appearing on Overtime, Sanders predicted that the Cleveland Browns would either draft him or wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick.
New England Patriots fans are obviously hoping it isn't the latter, as it would take a generational talent off the board for them at No. 4. The expectations are that Hunter won't fall to the Patriots, but fans have been holding out hope for a miracle scenario.
"Draft day, I know it should be me or [Hunter] going [to Cleveland]. Which one? I don't know, but I think we're the most qualified players to go to that organization," said Sanders.
Both players are coming off tremendous seasons. Sanders recorded 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns. That performance earned him Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, which is given to college football’s best quarterback.
Meanwhile, Hunter had a record-setting season that earned him the Heisman Trophy. He gained notoriety for his rare ability to play on both sides of the ball. All told, he recorded 96 receptions for 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, he tallied 35 tackles, four interceptions and a forced fumble.
Even if the Patriots don't land Hunter, Sanders being drafted by one of the top-three teams could lead to a scenario where they come away with Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. Along with Hunter, Carter is projected to be one of the top players on the draft board.
