How do we define a life of a Hunter? A hunter is a person who is unstoppable and hunts for their survival. The same is the journey of Travis Hunter in the world of football.
The former 1 stunned the world the world when he chose an HBCU over the powerhouse programs, making an unremarkable and historic point. But now the hunter has hunted his top gun and pushes for Deion Sanders to conquer his trajectory.
It is known that his most important goal is to outdo Colorado coach Deion Sanders in his career. The legend broke the news at the NFL combine that it is his dream to surpass Sander’s accomplishments.
“He's like a father figure to me I can go to him for anything,” Travis Hunter’s emotional message for Deion Sander
Speaking to CBS Sports, Hunter said, “First I need three Super Bowls rings, and I also have to play good enough to get a gold jacket.”
Deion Sanders is one of the finest player in the history of NFL who is leaving a blueprint on the sand for Hunter to follow: a legacy which can be cherished forever and a hallmark paving the way for Hunter to achieve high.
Cherishing the relationship bond between the duo, Hunter said, “It's a lot that [Coach Prime] has done for me outside of football," Hunter said. “He's like a father figure to me. I can go to him for anything.”
This is not the first time we have seen Hunter praising Deion Sanders for his achievements and guidance. During a special appearance at The Pivot Podcast, he shared how Sanders has built him and his career – acting as a true team player.
“I think I asked him this question like two months ago. I said, 'What would we be if I didn't decide to go [to Jackson State]?' I still don't know the answer,” Hunter said. "He's more than just a coach. He's a father...I don't know where I would be without him,” he added.
Sanders has won two Super Bowls and has been awarded as the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Not only this, he was a first-team All-Pro six times and bagged a spot as a member of the NFL’s 100th anniversary all-time team.
