One of the biggest questions from the NFL Draft this year is whether the team that picks top prospect Travis Hunter will use him as a wide receiver or a cornerback, but is there a third position the former Colorado star could line up as? At the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Hunter was seen throwing passes to other prospects.

When asked if there’s anything he can’t do, Hunter revealed he can even play special teams.

“I can do everything for real. I can do anything in a football field,” Hunter said, adding that he can kick “a little bit” and prefers place kicking over punting. “… I’m definitely different. I’m one of a kind. I call myself a unicorn.”

Hunter was officially listed as a defensive back at the combine, but he wasn’t happy that he was being put in one box, as he was a true two-way player in college.

“First thing I did was text my agent and say, ‘Why am I listed as just a cornerback’ and he texted me ‘We didn’t say nothing, we didn’t say anything about it.’ We got that fixed real fast,” Hunter explained.

The 21-year-old told CBS Sports HQ that he will not work do drills at the combine, but is taking interviews with teams. His first meeting with a team came as a wide receiver and he maintains that he has no preference of position.

Teams have varying views of what Hunter could be in the NFL. The Tennessee Titans, who have the No. 1 pick, see him as a cornerback, the Cleveland Browns, who have the No. 2 pick, see him as a wide receiver and the team with the No. 4 pick, the New England Patriots, see a world where he could play both.

Hunter says the teams he’s met with “think I can do everything,” and he emphasized that his plan is to “go in there and work for it.” The Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year says he isn’t setting his mind to just play one position and wherever the team who drafts him initially puts him, he will fight to play the other position as well.

“If they say I’m coming in as a corner, I’m gonna say can I work for receiver,” he said.

When it comes to cornerback, what attracts him to the position is “being able to take the ball away and shut down the best receiver on the football field,” while as a wide receiver he likes “being able to put the ball in the end zone.”

The Heisman Trophy winner played 713 snaps on offense and 748 snaps on defense, but playing full-time at both positions in the NFL is less likely than doing it at the collegiate level. Hunter is confident, however, that he can handle any workload he is given.

“I can play all of them if they give me the opportunity to play all of them,” Hunter said when asked how many snaps he believes he can realistically take in Week 1 of the regular season.

While it is a lofty goal, Hunter said earlier in the week that he’s “just different.”

In college, what helped Hunter play both was that he got a lot of treatment and always got his “body right” so he was ready for the next opportunity. He plans to do the same in the pros.

It appears quarterback Jalen Milroe out of Alabama had a growth spurt. At the Senior Bowl, Milroe’s hand size measured in at 8 3/4 inches. One month later at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, his hand measured more half an inch bigger, at 9 3/8 inches.

His hands have somehow grown by 5/8ths of an inch in 28 days. That’s significant because the consensus for the smallest acceptable hand size for an NFL QB is 9 inches, and Milroe’s hands were initially measured as smaller than that. Now, he’s got bigger hands than both Miami’s Cam Ward and Ohio State’s Will Howard.

The likely explanation is that Milroe wasn’t spreading his hand properly when it was measured at Mobile, where those types of measurements don’t mean as much for prospects also attending the combine in Indianapolis. Or perhaps the measurement at one of the two locations was simply incorrect for another reason.

Milroe’s height remained the same at 6-foot-1 1/2, while his weight dropped three pounds, from 220 pounds to 217.

The dual threat quarterback used his arms and his legs in college, finishing with 71 total touchdowns (38 passing and 32 rushing). He had the most touchdowns in the SEC, but also had the most turnovers with 23.

Last season, he had 20 rushing touchdowns and 16 passing touchdowns, which ranked 11th most in the nation and was No. 1 in the SEC. He finished with 15 turnovers in 2023, fourth most in the nation and most in the SEC.

Due to his running ability, some have wondered if he would switch positions when he got to the NFL. When asked about a potential move, he responded with, “You never ask a zebra to be a dog.”

Milroe is the No. 6 QB in CBSSports.com’s consensus prospect rankings and the 116th prospect overall.

Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo did not participate in the on-field portion of the NFL Scouting Combine and did not run the 40-yard dash due to a hamstring issue. He will opt to show NFL evaluators his full repertoire during his Pro Day in the coming weeks.

While he sat out those events, he did impress in various other jumping-related workouts. The first-team All-American logged a 10-foot-3 broad jump and an eye-popping 39.5-inch vertical jump on Saturday.

Skattebo enters the NFL Draft as CBS Sports’ 153rd-ranked prospect overall in this class and the 15th-ranked running back. This comes after a collegiate career at Arizona State during which he earned first-team All-Big 12 honors this season along with the All-American nod. In his second season with the program after transferring from Sacramento State, Skattebo enjoyed a stellar season in 2024 where he rushed for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns. He also added 45 receptions for 605 yards and three more scores. Those rushing totals were second-most in the FBS and helped him finish fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting.

The 23-year-old flashed his pro potential on the national stage with a sensational showing at the 2025 Peach Bowl. In that game, he tallied 271 total yards and two rushing touchdowns. He also recorded a two-point conversion and threw for a touchdown, which led to him earning Peach Bowl Offensive MVP honors.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein’s return from injury appears to be imminent. After missing the first 15 games of the season with a broken left hand, Hartenstein has been upgraded to “questionable” for Wednesday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Hartenstein, 26, suffered what the team called a “small, non-displaced fracture” in his hand during a preseason game on Oct .15 and has been sidelined since. If he is able to make his regular-season and team debut for the Thunder on Wednesday, he will fill their glaring hole at center. Since Chet Holmgren broke his hip on Nov. 10, they have pivoted to full-time smallball: 6-foot-9 wing Ousmane Dieng is their only player taller than 6-foot-6 who has seen the floor, and Dieng has played a total of five minutes in their two most recent games. (Jaylin Williams, who stands 6-foot-9 and actually plays center, has been out with a hamstring strain all season.)

Oklahoma City landed Hartenstein in free agency last summer on a three-year, $87 million contract (with a team option on the final season). The appeal of the addition was obvious: he could solve their rebounding problem, make their defense even stronger and help them diversify their offense. Now, after starting the season 11-4 with the league’s best defense and second-best net rating, the Thunder can finally start figuring out exactly how Hartenstein fits in their system, albeit without Holmgren.

There may be an adjustment period as Hartenstein’s new teammates learn how to play off of him. Oklahoma City’s spacing will be a bit different with him on the court, and, since he’s one of the best passing bigs in the league, it will be able to create offense in ways that it could not previously. Don’t be surprised, though, if Hartenstein immediately makes the Thunder better on both ends, if only because he’ll get them some extra possessions and help them defend the interior without fouling. OKC ranks No. 26 in offensive rebounding percentage, No. 29 in defensive rebounding percentage and No. 28 in opponent free-throw rate.

If any part of this process proves challenging, it’ll probably be when Holmgren is back in the picture. The 22-year-old has almost exclusively played without another big on the floor during his time with the Thunder, so sharing the frontcourt with Hartenstein might not feel natural right away. Ideally, though, by the end of the season, Oklahoma City will have had plenty of reps with Hartenstein as the lone big, Holmgren as the lone big and the two of them together. At this point, the team has already played a lot more minutes without either of them than it would have preferred.
