During the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Kelce shared his opinion about how Hunter should play in the NFL.

Hunter is a rare two-way player, but it is unclear if he will focus on just one position when he enters the league.

Many believe that Hunter will focus on playing a cornerback and play a bit of wide receiver from time to time.

However, Kelce thinks that is nonsense.

“I think he’s proven that he needs to play both sides of the ball” he said.

Hunter won the Heisman Trophy as a two-way player, and Kelce thinks he should keep playing that way.

Kelce also made a joke that Hunter could end up on the Kansas City Chiefs, but that is very unlikely.

The Chiefs pick at No. 31 in the upcoming NFL Draft and Hunter is expected to be picked within the top five.

Other NFL players agree with Kelce’s analysis of Hunter.

Patrick Peterson told TMZ Sports that he thinks Hunter has proven he should be able to play both ways.

“I think they definitely should let him play both sides of the ball just because he’s that dynamic,” Peterson said.

“He’s that valuable on both sides of the football.”

Hunter had an amazing season as both a wide receiver and cornerback, leading to his high draft stock.

As a receiver, he caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Hunter recently made headlines, saying that what he does as a two-way player in football is harder than what Shohei Ohtani does as a two-way player in baseball.

“Probably me. What I do in football because it’s a lot on your body, you know,” he said.

“Ohtani, he’s a great player, but you gotta do a lot in football.”
