Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter will get paid when he makes his way to the NFL.
The two-way phenom at Colorado, who has dazzled fans as both a wide receiver and cornerback, is positioning himself as a potential top-five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
However, there may be a chance he could return to the Colorado Buffaloes.
His dual-threat abilities make him a potential top-five pick, but the Buffaloes would love to have him back for another year.
In a recent Well Off Media video, Travis Hunter was asked if a massive $40 million NIL deal could persuade him to stay in college for another season.
Hunter quickly agreed with that number to stay at Colorado.
Imagine another year of Travis Hunter at Colorado 😂

Travis Hunter is expected to fully take his talents to the NFL, and then the real questions will begin.
Whether Hunter should focus more on cornerback or wide receiver as a pro is a topic now and will become an even bigger one throughout the draft process.
As a junior, he has recorded 46 receptions for 561 yards and six touchdowns on offense.
He has contributed 15 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble, and three passes defended on defense.
Those numbers have kept Hunter in the Heisman watch this season.
