A Travis Hunter on every NFL team? 32 players who could be two-way threats

"Hunter entered the NFL trying to do what few other have done before him -- play both offense and defense on a full-time basis. While the Jaguars are still trying to figure out the former Heisman winner's workload in the NFL, Hunter's versatility is revered around the league. In honor of Hunter's first appearance on "Monday Night Football" against the Kansas City Chiefs ( 8:15 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN), we asked our 32 NFL reporters to find the best player on every team who could have the skills to be a two-way player."

"LB Shaq Thompson The Bills don't have a player that currently plays both sides of the ball, but Thompson, who joined the team this offseason, has plenty of experience doing so. While in college at Washington, Thompson played both linebacker and running back and won the Paul Hornung Award, which honors the nation's most versatile player. He was also drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 2012 MLB draft and played briefly in the minor leagues as a centerfielder. -- Alaina Getzenberg"

"FB Alec Ingold Ingold was the Gatorade Player of the Year in Wisconsin as a quarterback for Bay Port High School during his senior year, throwing for 1,384 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding another 2,322 yards and 29 touchdowns on the ground. Ingold originally committed to play quarterback for Northern Illinois before flipping to Wisconsin, where he briefly played linebacker before moving to running back/fullback."

The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up to select WR/CB Travis Hunter No. 2 in the 2025 NFL draft. Hunter attempts to play both offense and defense on a full-time basis, and his versatility is widely admired. Several other NFL players have multi-position backgrounds from college or early careers and could be considered two-way options. Examples in the AFC East include Shaq Thompson, who played linebacker and running back at Washington and won the Paul Hornung Award, and Alec Ingold, who starred as a high school quarterback before transitioning to linebacker briefly and then to fullback in college and the NFL.
