It’s been nearly three months since fans last got to see Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter flash his two-way skills on the field. With the NFL Draft looming, that’s about to change.
Hunter will take the field at Colorado’s pro day, hoping to prove he deserves to be the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft. While many projections have the Titans taking a quarterback with the top overall pick, the team has said it would not pass on a generational talent. If anyone is capable of proving they are that kind of player, it’s Hunter.

The Sporting News is following live updates and highlights from Hunter’s Pro Day. Follow along below as the reigning Heisman Trophy winner works out.Â

12:09 p.m. — With Hunter and Shedeur Sanders in the building, there’s a strong collection of NFL execs, scouts and coaches in Colorado today. The Browns, owners of the No. 2 overall pick, have everybody in attendance from their owner, Jimmy Haslam, to their quarterbacks coach, Bill Musgrave.Â
The Giants, who own the third overall pick, also have a significant presence, including GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. Another intriguing team in attendance is the Saints, who sent QBs coach Scott Tolzien and WRs coach Keith Williams to the event.
Here in Boulder for the Colorado Showcase, where a huge contingent of NFL executives, coaches and scouts is here.
The Titans, Browns and Giants – picking 1, 2, 3 – have larger contingents in attendance.

Will Travis Hunter work out at Colorado’s pro day?
NFL Network’s James Palmer initially reported Hunter is not expected to work out at Colorado’s pro day, but Hunter is set to run some routes on Friday.
Given that both Sanders and Hunter did not participate in the Big 12 Pro Day, it was considered more likely that they work out during the Buffaloes’ event, which will be televised by NFL Network and attended by all 32 teams.Â
Hunter and Sanders also both sat out of NFL Combine drills earlier in the spring, only participating in measurements and media availability.Â

Travis Hunter NFL Draft projection
Hunter might be the most talented player in the draft, but his chances of becoming the No. 1 pick depend on whether the Titans prioritize a quarterback if they hold onto the top choice.
At the moment, Hunter isn’t the projected No. 1 pick. SN’s Vinnie Iyer projects the Giants as Hunter’s landing spot with the No. 3 overall pick, while the NFL Mock Draft Database’s consensus of mock drafts from dozens of outlets also projects Hunter as the No. 3 overall pick to New York.
It’s tough to envision any scenario in which Hunter falls out of the top five, given his two-way skillset.Â
