Travis Hunter - English
In the world of college football, few figures loom as large as Deion Sanders. Known as “Coach Prime,” the former NFL superstar has brought his signature charisma and unwavering belief to the Colorado Buffaloes, transforming the program into a national talking point. At the heart of this transformation is Travis Hunter, a player Sanders describes as a once in a generation talent with God given gifts.
Hunter’s versatility on the field is nothing short of remarkable. Last season, he amassed 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a wide receiver, while also recording 35 tackles and four interceptions as a cornerback. His exceptional performance earned him both the Biletnikoff Award for best receiver and the Chuck Bednarik Award for best defensive player, a rare dual achievement in college football.
Sanders has been vocal in defending Hunter against critics who question his ability to play both positions at the professional level. “We’ve never seen a player of this nature,” Sanders remarked. “Stop putting him in a box and let him be who God has called him to be.” He emphasizes that Hunter’s unique skill set should be embraced, not constrained by traditional roles.
“Let him be who God has called him to be”
Beyond the field, Sanders praises Hunter’s character, describing him as a tremendous father and human being. He believes that Hunter’s journey is divinely guided, stating, “I can’t wait to see what God has in store for him.” This spiritual perspective is a cornerstone of Sanders’ coaching philosophy, which blends athletic excellence with personal development.
Under Sanders’ leadership, the Colorado Buffaloes have experienced a significant turnaround. After a dismal 1-11 season in 2022, the team improved to a 9-4 record in 2024, culminating in an Alamo Bowl appearance. This success has not gone unnoticed; Sanders recently signed a five year, $54 million contract extension, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in college football.
As the 2025 NFL Draft approaches, Hunter is projected to be a top pick, with teams intrigued by his ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball. Sanders continues to advocate for his protégé, asserting that Hunter’s talents are unparalleled and should be utilized to their fullest extent.
With the unwavering support of his coach and mentor, Hunter is ready to forge his own path and show the world he can thrive as a truly versatile athlete in the NFL.

Fantasy football 2025 NFL Draft player grades: Every pick from Cam Ward to Brashard Smith and more
The 2025 NFL Draft might be done, but the excitement is still bubbling over. It’s time for NFL draft grades for fantasy football. If you haven’t seen this piece from past years, each player gets two grades. The first draft grade is redraft-only value (2025). The second is the player’s dynasty grade/potential.AdvertisementThe draft grades are weighted in tiers of sorts. A’s are your stars — players who can or will become a No. 1 at their position (RB1, TE1, etc.). For B’s, we’re talking about second and some third-tier starters in all leagues. When we get to C’s, those are fringe starters, maybe some boom/bust plays, etc. D’s are waiver wire players with maybe some Best Ball or the rare bye week/matchup play potential. Any player graded lower is a non-factor in fantasy.For those wanting to go deeper, you can […]

2025 NFL Draft winners and losers: Shedeur Sanders falls into both categories, Tom Brady makes the list
Getty Images After 257 picks, the 2025 NFL Draft is officially in the books. The draft started on Thursday with the Browns doing something crazy, and it ended on Saturday with the Browns also doing something crazy, so in a way, the draft truly came full circle. The first round started with a blockbuster trade between Cleveland and Jacksonville that saw the Jaguars move up from the fifth pick to the second overall spot so they could take Travis Hunter. Although Hunter went second overall, one player who had to wait longer than expected to get drafted was Hunter's college teammate at Colorado, Shedeur Sanders. Not only did he fall out of the first round, but he ended up falling all the way to the fifth round before the Browns took him with the 144th overall pick. For this draft, Sanders was both […]
