NFL Draft Prospect calls out Dodgers' Shoei ohtani, says two-way football is more difficult

Shohei Ohtani has had an award-winning season with MVP, in which he stole at least 50 bases and hit 50 Home Runs to bring him to a category alone, but a young athlete who made a name for himself before the NFL design dodes the two-way star from Los Angeles.

Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy as a two-way player with the Colorado Buffaloes and his sport, according to Hunter, more difficult than ohtanis in baseball.

In Indianapolis this week for the NFL Scouting Combine Hunter was asked at his media availability meeting on Thursday what performance was more difficult – his or ohtanis.

Without hesitation, Hunter said that he thinks football is more difficult than ohtanis pitching and hits.

“Probably, I and what I do in football because it is a lot on your body,” said Hunter. “Ohtani, he is a great player, but you have to do a lot in football.”

Playing two ways in both ways is difficult to do, but Hunter insisted that football is more difficult.

“Ohtani, he is a great player, but you have to do a lot in football,” he said.

This plays both sides of a sport requires considerable physical exertion and additional preparation. The last NFL player who did this full-time was Hall of Famer Chuck Bednarik, who played both Line Backers and the offensive line for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1949 to 1962.

Deion Sanders, Hunter's College trainer, played two professional sports, but made primarily a cornerback in his career in Hall of Fame. Sanders is the only athlete that occurs in a super bowl and in a World Series.

In the baseball, Ohtani gave rise to a two-way player and awarded three MVP prices at the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers during his seven years.

Ohtani did not beat last year when he recovered from a second Tommy John surgery, but he is expected to return to starting at the beginning of this season.

In his debut in his Cactus League on Friday evening, Ohtani scored the game against Los Angeles Angeles.

In the meantime, Hunter hopes to continue to be a two-way player in the NFL.

“I want to play both,” Hunter told reporters on Thursday. “This is not my job to find out. I like to play both sides of the ball. If you allow me to play both sides of the ball, I will play both sides. “
