Ain't nobody EVER going both ways at RB and Safety.
Stop it, kid.

This is probably recency bias but after seeing Travis Hunter average 120 plays per game going both ways I could see a scenario where a player can be a RB3 and double as a Safety if they're talented enough. Being a RB3 gets you like 10 snaps a game.

Hunter did it at WR and CB, the two least physical positions on the field and (arguably) the positions with lowest learning curve.

i'll say it again, big time schools like georgia and ohio state have guys that can play both ways, their programs are established enough to say no ... colorado/jackson state are not and to get hunter in the door they had to capitulate and it began to take on a life of its own

Yea that was basically Jabrill Peppers imo but no one can seriously do RB & safety. To be real, we don’t need players going both ways. If Deion was the HC at Bama, Michigan, Ohio State, etc Hunter would have been playing 1 side of the ball.

True. But there is always a coach willing to say anything to land a kid and some kids will buy the B.S.

I can’t remember where but I saw a top recruit say they want to go both ways on the OL & DL. I’m like, “come on fellas…” Kids are just talking to talk. Sort of like that one recruit who called himself a wolf. “Everyone wants to be goat until a wolf comes around…”

I think Hunter was going to sign with Deion no matter what. I think Hunter going both ways was more Deion than Hunter. You can’t get the number 1 recruit in the nation to sign with JSU only for him to go in the 2nd or 3rd round despite production. Deion created a machine and backed Hunter like crazy with CB/WR angle. If Hunter fell out the 1st round, it would have been hard to recruit another top player to follow him unless he went to a top p4 program imo.

Sione Vaki for Utah a couple years ago played S and RB, but the RB part is a bit of a stretch, as he only averaged something like 4 carries and 1 reception per game.
