Brian Dawkins, the Pro Football Hall of Famer, emphasized the critical need for kidney disease awareness while discussing Travis Hunter's aspirations to be a two-way player in the NFL. Dawkins highlighted the staggering statistic that 35 million people in the U.S. are affected by kidney disease, urging individuals with pre-existing conditions to get tested for prevention. As for Hunter, Dawkins noted that while he possesses the potential to play both offense and defense, the demands of the NFL may limit him to a more focused role, likely prioritizing cornerback duties.

Hunter's commitment and performance were underscored, as he completed nearly 1,400 snaps during his college season at Colorado, showcasing his versatility. Dawkins reminded fans that while history has seen dual-position players succeed, the physical nature of the NFL presents unique challenges that may prevent Hunter from sustaining that level of play across both positions throughout games.
