Hunter takes so much shite because of who he decided to play for but he seems like a good man. He's not some humanitarian or anything cause he makes bank outside of the collective.

Academic all-American as well. Hunter did it right

He's probably the highest paid player in the country with negotiated deals with the Nikes, tech companies, etc with deals with CU that they fund the rest of the team.

Cool guy though, he didn't have to fly out 50 guys.

I probably unfairly judged him at first, but he has grown on me.

I never had a problem with Hunter, just question players who come into the NFL without a definitive position.

He seems to be a really good dude, despite all the hate he gets from idiots that hate him simply because of his coach.

Plus, he loves fishing. I watched an interview with him the other day and pretty much the whole time he was just talking about fishing while they were trying to ask him questions about the Heisman.

He seems like a great kid. Never parties, committed to one woman, works hard, supports teammates, doesn't complain about playing almost every snap every game, etc.

He's going to make some NFL franchise very happy.

He has two definitive positions, just needs to pick one.

...but Travis Hunter seems like a good dude. Just went out and played ball, did well in school, and spent his free time fishing. No getting into trouble, out late partying, or any other issues. Responsible young man.

Hunter actually benefitted from true NIL
He didn't need collective

This guy is too damn nice.


And he'll get taken advantage of one day.

There's plenty of evidence of his girlfriend treating him terribly and he grovels to make up for it. He's selfless. He's willing to go to an HBCU and sacrifice his ability to hit the spotlight early. He pays for his teammates' NIL. He personally flew guys out to his Heisman campaign.

And we've seen this time and time again with "nice guy" superstars. Nefarious pieces of shite will get into his life and cause problems for him. Take his money. Put him in situations that cause him harm. Distract him from his potential.

Maybe Deion can speak some sense into him. Take his girlfriend to a party and let her go drink while he twiddles his thumbs in the car? Good God man....

I met him a few times while he was at JSU and he seemed like a good person.

I realize this might be pocket change for him, but this is how lots of people go broke

Not saying he will….

Just hearing him in interviews you can tell he’s a good kid. He knows what his life could have been if he wasn’t athletically gifted and plays like a person that doesn’t take that for granted.
