Colorado Buffaloes two-way superstar Travis Hunter found a clever way to troll former NFL All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman over the latter’s “bland” comments that made headlines earlier this week.
Travis Hunter has emerged as a can’t-miss superstar and top 2025 NFL Draft prospect with his all-world play as a wide receiver and cornerback.

He certainly knows a thing or two about what elite NFL wide receivers look like, but let’s just say he couldn’t be more wrong on his Hunter take.
Travis Hunter Is A Top 2025 NFL Draft Prospect
A lot can change between now and next April, but the two-way superstar is widely projected to be a top five or 10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Hunter is playing at a historically good level for Deion Sanders’ group, and it’ll be interesting to see how he’s utilized at the professional level. But whether it’s wide receiver or corner, Hunte has a bright future in the pos.
