A Giants plan for Travis Hunter’s two-way game is far from decided

A Giants plan for Travis Hunter’s two-way game is far from decided

As the college season ended and the Giants ramped up their player evaluation process, they initially viewed Travis Hunter as a cornerback first and foremost, with the unique ability to also contribute now and then as a gifted wide receiver. 

That designation is not set in stone. The final determination has yet to be made and the only certainty is this: Hunter can help in a big way wherever he lines up. 

Last week and continuing on into this week, the Giants hunkered down in the team facility for their annual NFL draft meetings, gathering all involved — general manager Joe Schoen and the entire personnel department, Brian Daboll and his coaching staff and all the scouts — in one room for comprehensive discussions. This is where the actual team draft board is finalized, ranking every player in terms of talent, value and need. 

The Giants own the No. 3 pick in the first round April 24 and Hunter is expected to go in the first four picks — there is growing speculation he could go as high as No. 2 to the Browns, taking him off the board before the Giants are on the clock. Do the Giants stick with their first thought — that he is primarily a cornerback — or do they dig in deeper and ultimately see him as too potent a weapon on offense to limit his snaps as a target for newly signed Russell Wilson?
