A week out from the NFL draft, call your shot: Who in this class is retiring with a gold jacket? Who's the most likely Hall of Famer?
Costa is taking Colorado's Travis Hunter, because "there's a shot that he’s a Hall of Famer as a defensive back, or as a wide receiver, or the uniqueness of what he’s doing could get him in even if he’s not a Hall of Famer at either position."
Hunter won the Heisman last year, Costa points out, "while not winning the Biletnikoff or the Thorpe; he wasn’t considered the best receiver or the best corner, yet the combination of what he brings to his football team was so significant that he was deemed the Most Outstanding Player in college football.
"If he’s that guy in the NFL, he’s a Hall of Famer. And he is such a fluid athlete. He has the traits that translate."
Jansen's nominee is Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who caught 174 passes for 2,721 yards and 18 touchdowns over the last two seasons: "I think this guy is going to be special."
"Part of it is his height, and I know he doesn’t have blazing speed, but he’s going to be a guy that’s going to make a lot of plays just because he can out-jump, outreach, his catch radius is unbelievable. And what makes it even more unbelievable is he doesn’t need both hands. He’s a guy that has just tremendous ability to haul in a football from a lot of different angles and positions, he’s got great body control when he’s in the air and I like the way that he gets off the line of scrimmage, so I think he’s going to have a lot of opportunities for big plays, big moments.
"I think he’s a guy that’s going to be a regular in the Pro Bowl and probably not in year one or two, but I see All-Pro potential in this kid."
With the Lions thought to be eying a receiver in the draft, could McMillan be their guy?
