In a bold and unexpected move, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton has successfully secured the No. 1 overall pick, Travis Hunter, in a blockbuster trade that is sending shockwaves through the NFL.
Hunter, the highly coveted dual-threat prospect out of Colorado, is widely regarded as the most dynamic player in the 2025 NFL Draft. Known for his elite abilities as both a cornerback and a wide receiver, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound Hunter is expected to immediately make an impact for the Broncos, bringing versatility and playmaking ability to both sides of the ball.
Despite holding the No. 1 overall pick, Payton made it clear that landing Hunter required more than just their draft position. The Broncos offered significant additional assets, including future draft picks and key players, to complete the trade.
“Travis Hunter is a game-changer,” Payton said in a statement. “When you have the opportunity to acquire someone with his potential, you have to make it happen. We believe he’ll be a cornerstone player for us and help take this team to the next level.”
Hunter’s addition is a major boost for the Broncos, as Payton looks to solidify Denver’s position as a top contender in the league. The trade marks a new chapter for the team, with Hunter poised to be a central figure in their pursuit of a championship.
