Hunter caused a stir at the NFL Combine when comparing himself to Shohei Ohtani. Hunter plans to back up his talk as a receiver and cornerback in the NFL.

Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter is criticized for saying playing both ways in the NFL is more difficult than the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani pitching and hitting in MLB.

Hunter played both offense and defense for the Buffaloes over the last two seasons and won the Heisman Trophy for his accomplishments in 2024. Now in Indianapolis this week for the NFL scouting combine, he was asked at his very crowded media availability which feat was harder—his or Ohtani's—and gave a pretty controversial answer.
