Travis Hunter is a game-changer who should be on the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 radar.<\/p>\n

\"Colorado<\/p>\n

2024 hasn\u2019t gone the way the Dallas Cowboys hoped it would. They\u2019ve limped to a record of 3-6 and with Dak Prescott out for the year, they\u2019re not making a late-season run.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean something good can\u2019t come from this atrocious season. History even suggests they\u2019ll get better in 2025.<\/p>\n

The last two times Dallas fell apart and had their starting QB on the shelf, they loaded up in the following draft. That happened in 2016 when they landed Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott after losing Tony Romo in 2015.<\/p>\n

More recently, losing Prescott in 2020 resulted in the addition of\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0the next year.<\/p>\n

Knowing how impactful a premium draft pick can be brings up the question of whether or not Dallas should tank the season \u2014 and perhaps target Colorado\u2019s Travis Hunter.<\/p>\n

Hunter is a two-way star who shines as both a receiver and cornerback. He currently has 54 tackles, 13 pass defenses, and six picks on defense. As a wideout, he\u2019s hauled in 131 receptions for 1,632 yards, and 14 touchdowns in two years.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s excelled to the point that he\u2019s expected to remain a two-way player in the NFL. The last player to do this successfully was\u00a0Deion Sanders<\/a>, his coach at Colorado, who did so with Dallas.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Adding someone with Hunter\u2019s skill set would be a massive boost to both the offense and defense. He would take pressure off CeeDee Lamb while giving them a third ball hawk to work alongside Trevon Diggs and DaRon Lamb.<\/p>\n

Throw in the fact that the suddenly frugal Jerry Jones can get a star on both sides while only paying one person, and it makes sense to sacrifice the remainder of 2024 to land Hunter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
