Travis Hunter pro day results: Updated 40 time, highlights from 2025 NFL Draft workouts

It had 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 changed on Friday. 

Hunter took the field at Colorado’s pro day, attempting to prove to NFL executives, scouts and coaches that 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 two-way star, who has said definitively that he plans to play both cornerback and wide receiver in the NFL, didn’t participate in most of the workouts at Colorado’s pro day. However, Hunter did showcase his elite route-running skills, taking the field to catch passes from quarterback Shedeur Sanders. 

The Sporting News tracked live updates and highlights from Hunter’s pro day. Below are some highlights from the Heisman Trophy winner’s performance.

2:09 p.m. — Hunter is in the building, although he won’t be doing too much on the field today outside of catching passes from Sanders.

1:43 p.m. — Deion Sanders on his conversation with Cleveland’s executives, referring to Shedeur Sanders or Travis Hunter: “I think one of those guys are gonna be there.”

With Cam Ward trending toward the Titans’ No. 1 overall pick, there’s a growing chance that a Colorado Buffalo goes No. 2.

1:26 p.m. — Coach Prime was chatting it up with the Browns’ representatives.

12:50 p.m. — With Hunter not running the 40 at Colorado’s pro day, here’s a good estimate of his speed. He hit over 20 miles per hour during a matchup against BYU last season, per Reel Analytics.

12:42 p.m. — NFL Network’s Steve Wyche reports that neither Hunter or Shedeur Sanders will be running the 40, and neither did other testing. Hunter will, however, run routes for Sanders when he throws in the showcase.

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. 

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.

11:40 a.m. — Well, we’re going to see at least a little but of Hunter. He’s reportedly set to run some routes at Colorado’s pro day.

11:15 a.m. — Hunter is not expected to work out at this time, though that is not official.

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. 

Hunter and Sanders also both sat out of NFL Combine drills earlier in the spring, only participating in measurements and media availability.

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.
