According to this general manager Joe Sean, who addressed the status of a two-way star during a news conference on Wednesday, eight days before the first round of the next week’s NFL draft.
“We are in a unique position that we have three good receivers, and we like our secondary right now,” Scone told reporters“Then our situation will be unique. I am not afraid to play it on both sides of the ball.”
Scone’s stance is relevant. The veterans have the number 3 pick in the next week’s draft. Tennessy Titans are widely expected to select the Miami Quarterback Cam Ward with No. 1 Pick. This landscape will leave the top-two players of unanimous in the draft-to choose Rashar Abdul Carter-Number 2 and 3. Veterans can face the opportunity to select Hunter at number 3 very well.
