Travis Hunter is days away from hearing his name called in the 2025 NFL Draft and there’s not a single GM out there sleeping easily. After a two-way season, Hunter has turned from a top prospect into a walking legacy. And now one of hip-hop’s biggest legends wants him in Green Bay.

Lil Wayne, a die-hard Packers fan and longtime supporter of the Colorado program, sat down with Hunter on the 'Travis Hunter Show.'

"There's one thing that matters the most about the drive to me and that's fit. You get picked somewhere where you fit, man," Wayne said.
"That's a marriage that you blow to your homeboys about every day."

Wayne kept it real, but Hunter didn’t back down.

“I fit 32 teams,” Hunter said.
"If the Packers pick you, that is about fit, you know? It's about fit, man," Wayne said.

And that’s not even a stretch. After a historic college career and a Heisman win, Hunter’s value is sky-high. But would he fall far enough for Green Bay to snag him? Not likely.

Wayne and Hunter’s bond isn’t just for show, it’s personal. From bumping Wayne’s music before games to signing with Young Money APAA Sports, their connection runs deep. Wayne even sat beside Deion and Shedeur Sanders at the Heisman ceremony.

Still, with Hunter projected to go high in the draft, it’ll take more than fandom for the Packers to land him.
