""I'd say you're much more like Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani's hitting and pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers is unparalleled since the early days of Babe Ruth, one of the great contemporary wonders of any professional sport. He was a phenomenon from the moment he stepped on the diamond in 2013. Hunter, 22, is three games into his NFL career as a cornerback and wide receiver and there are no guarantees he'll reach anywhere near the two-way superstardom the way Ohtani has in major league baseball.""
"On offense, Hunter (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) has 10 receptions for 76 yards. He has started one of three games on defense and has nine tackles and one pass defensed. He doesn't have a touchdown or a big play of note on either side of the ball. Whenever it comes, it comes, Hunter told reporters Thursday. It's God's plan. I'm just out there doing my job and hopefully it comes soon."
Travis Hunter is being used as a two-way player for the Jacksonville Jaguars, lining up as a slot receiver and an outside cornerback. The Jaguars traded up to select him second overall out of Colorado to capitalize on his two-way abilities. Through three NFL games Hunter has 10 receptions for 76 yards on offense, nine tackles and one pass defensed on defense, and no touchdowns yet. Comparisons to Shohei Ohtani emphasize the rarity of two-way excellence, and there are no guarantees Hunter will achieve similar superstardom. Hunter says he remains patient and trusts God's plan.
