The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-4, and a lot of tough questions will be asked about personnel. Especially when the 2025 NFL Draft rolls around.

While the draft is still months away, Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby signaled on his podcast "The Rush" just who he wouldn't mind the Raiders drafting -- Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter.

"Me and him been talking, having some conversations," Crosby said. "He's got the right head on his shoulders, he's gonna be a problem for years to come. I would love to have Travis Hunter on the Raiders, I mean, who wouldn't."

Hunter is both a cornerback and a wide receiver and he has dominated at both. At wide receiver, Hunter has 49 receptions for 587 yards and six touchdowns. On defense, he has 17 combined tackles and two interceptions with a pass defended and a forced fumble.

Travis Hunter's Dominance On Both Sides Of The Ball

Walter Football evaluated Hunter on both sides of the ball, and either position sounds like a first-round caliber player.

"As a wide receiver, Hunter is an impressive playmaker that can hurt defenses downfield," Walter Football's Charlie Campbell wrote. "Hunter does not have blinding speed like Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle, but Hunter runs well and can stretch defenses vertically. He runs good routes and shows a real knack for generating late separation from cornerbacks. Hunter is superb on 50-50 passes and winning contested catches even though he does not have mismatch height for a wide out. With serious athleticism, Hunter has excellent adjustment ability to contort his body and redirect to put him in position to make the reception. After the catch, Hunter is dangerous with the ball in his hands and is capable of juking tacklers, breaking tackles, and ripping up yards through the secondary."

Hunter's Elite Cornerback Skillset

Even at cornerback, considered Hunter's weakest of the two positions (if one had to choose), he is still an elite player.

"As a cornerback, Hunter is extremely instinctive and versatile. Hunter’s instincts and vision make him a dynamite zone corner, and he is capable of playing off man coverage," Campbell wrote. "He tricks quarterbacks, reads their eyes, has fabulous route recognition, and a serious closing burst to eat up ground. Hunter has enough size and physicality to play press man and is a willing tackler in run support. The one question this analyst has about Hunter as a cornerback is his ability to handle the deep speed receivers he will see in the NFL."

The Question of Two-Way Play

Whether Hunter will be able to play both positions in the NFL is uncertain as of now. Two-way play is likely out of the question, however.

While the Raiders are in need of a strong cornerback and a reliable receiver, it remains to be seen if they'd be willing to invest in a player who could potentially be a game-changer on either side of the ball. Many consider this a gamble given the uncertainty of Hunter's potential in the NFL. Could he be a dominant receiver or cornerback? Perhaps a special talent that thrives on both sides of the ball? Or could his versatility be a hindrance to his growth as a professional athlete?

The 2025 NFL Draft could be a crucial moment for the Raiders, and the decision to draft Hunter will be a significant one. It’s a move that could either bolster their roster with a game-changing talent or backfire with a player who struggles to find his footing in the league. Crosby's enthusiastic support for Hunter suggests he sees the potential for greatness, but ultimately, it's up to the Raiders organization to decide whether this high-risk, high-reward prospect is worth the gamble. Only time will tell if Hunter will follow the footsteps of legends like Deion Sanders and become a force on both sides of the ball in the NFL.

Hunter's Draft Stock and Future Potential

With his exceptional talents and a plethora of accolades, Hunter has firmly established himself as a top prospect in the upcoming draft. Several mock drafts have placed him amongst the first-round selections, highlighting the high regard in which he is held by NFL scouts and analysts. As Hunter prepares to transition to the professional level, he will be eager to showcase his unique skillset and prove his worth on the grand stage. While the NFL landscape is vastly different from the collegiate game, Hunter's natural ability and relentless work ethic have the potential to make him a star at the next level. While the Raiders are just one team in the league vying for his services, Hunter's future holds a great deal of promise and could be a defining moment for both his career and the franchise that drafts him.
