Colorado football star wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter has been receiving tons of attention and praise after his incredible two-way play in the TCU win. After playing 117 snaps and putting up an interception along with 11 receptions for 119 yards and a touchdown, Hunter was the definition of versatile.
Buffalo Bills WR Stefon Diggs is the latest player to join in the praise for Hunter, who is already getting called a Heisman candidate. Hunter has had many NFL stars — including his own coach — recognize his amazing game, but it certainly is a compliment for an All-Pro in Diggs to speak so highly of him.
During an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Diggs gave Hunter some of the top compliments, saying, “He's a baller. I'll take him right now. Anyone who can play that many snaps is not only gifted, but he has a hell of a wing. He's fallen right under the tree of that Deion-like playing both sides of the ball. He can probably even return, he can probably do everything. I feel like he's one of those special talents, a generational talent, a guy that we're gonna see all the time. He might even be a guy who can go in the NFL and play both ways.”

Travis Hunter has been heavily serenaded for his play, but Diggs' comments took things to another level when he called Hunter a “generational talent.” If Hunter continues this high level of play on both sides of the ball, he certainly will become a generational talent and player, like his coach Deion Sanders was.
