Travis Hunter gives passionate reply to Hall of Fame legend Charles Woodson after being asked about "playing too much" for Colorado

Even without the services of two-way star Travis Hunter, the Colorado Buffaloes recorded an emphatic 34-7 win over the Arizona Wildcats in Week 8 of college football action to move to 5-2 for the season. Hunter recorded two receptions for 17 yards in the first half of the game before being withdrawn by coach Deion Sanders as a precautionary measure.

On an appearance on Hunter's YouTube channel, football Hall of Famer Charles Woodson who starred for the Michigan Wolverines, asked the Buffs star whether he was playing too much football, to which Hunter had a passionate reply.

"Do you ever think you’re playing too much football in terms of playing both sides of the ball?" Charles Woodson asked.

"No I don’t think I’m playing too much football because like you said, this is all I know. I love to be on the field, love playing football. All I know is to go out there and work… So the numbers don’t faze me," Travis Hunter said.

Charles Woodson was the last purely defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy in 1997 when he led the Michigan Wolverines to a national championship win.

During his weekly news conference, Colorado coach Deion Sanders revealed that Hunter would play in the Buffaloes' Week 9 clash against the Cincinnati Bearcats.

"I think he’ll (Hunter) have more productivity because he’s feeling much better than last week… I think he will certainly contribute a lot more than he did a week ago because he’s healthier," Sanders said.

Travis Hunter's injury problems blamed on Coach Prime by Jason Whitlock

The discourse around Travis Hunter playing on both sides of the ball has rumbled on throughout the season and has only intensified as he has struggled with his fitness in the past few games.

Last week during an episode of "Fearless", controversial media personality Jason Whitlock blamed Hunter's injuries on Colorado coach Deion Sanders.

"Deion Sanders is the reason Travis Hunter got hurt," Whitlock said. "Because Deion Sanders thinks that he has reinvented football and that he is the greatest coach that’s ever hit CFB.

"You know what! I can take a 19-20 and 21-year-old kid with amazing and I can play both ways and play them every snap for an entire season because I am Deion Sanders."

Travis Hunter has already indicated his comfort in playing on both sides of the ball which is his biggest selling point in the race for the Heisman Trophy and is unlikely to stop during his final season of college football.
