“It hurt me”: $45M worth Deion Sanders shares honest reaction to Travis Hunter deactivating his social media

Deion Sanders shared his reaction to Travis Hunter deactivating his social media amidst the trolling that his fiancee Leanna Lenee faced on social media. The backlash online prompted Hunter to deactivate social media, which left the $45 million worth Colorado buffaloes coach (as per celebritynetworth.com) concerned.

“It hurt me that he did (deactivate his social media account),” Sanders said. He then went on to draw an analogy with hunting and explained, “What the enemy wants you to do is stop. When you moving, it’s hard to get a good shot at you if you keep moving. And when somebody stays still, now you got a chance to attack and I hate the stillness of that."

"Keep on moving. Don’t let the enemy get you when you still and you having a pity party for yourself," Sanders said on Friday on the Tamron Hall Show.

Coach Prime and his former two-way star are heading into NFL Draft day with different plans. While Sanders and his sons, Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, plan to celebrate the draft with fans at Colorado's gymnasium, Hunter has his sights set on attending the draft at Green Bay, Wisconsin.

On Good Morning America, Sanders shared his vision for a Colorado celebration.

"We are going to celebrate it with the fans in the gymnasium, we're going to pack the house," he said.

Shedeur Sanders shared the same sentiment as his dad, confirming their family-first approach to draft day. However, Hunter may not attend the celebration in Colorado.

On The Travis Hunter Show, the Heisman-winning wide receiver revealed:

"If I'm the number one pick, I only get to walk that stage one time … I’m definitely doing it."
