Keyshawn Johnson argues on FS1 that the New England Patriots should trade for the No. 1 overall pick in the draft to select Travis Hunter, a talented player who shines as both a wide receiver and cornerback. Johnson emphasizes that Hunter, having achieved unique college football accolades, could revitalize the Patriots' offense, which struggled last season. He envisions Hunter being a game-changer alongside quarterback Drake Maye and enriching the locker room dynamics by bringing a much-needed culture shift to the team.
"Let's say, for instance, at the No. 1 spot the Tennessee Titans elect to move down to No. 4 and the New England Patriots go up to 1. Perfect landing spot for Travis. You get Drake Maye an offensive weapon. You now have a corner you can play opposite of [Christian] Gonzalez, which is an All-Pro guy."
"Hunter is the only player in college football history to win both the Bednarik and Biletnikoff awards, which are given to the best defensive player and best wide receiver respectively. He also won the Heisman Trophy, which is awarded annually to the nation's top player."
"When I was drafted as the No. 1 overall pick, I wasn't drafted as the No. 1 overall pick just for pure talent. I was drafted to snap, crackle, pop, coming into New York City with the pizazz."
"It was about doing all the right things to win and work your tail off and changing the culture. The Patriots could benefit from that same energy with Hunter."
