"He's in love" - NFL fans react to Travis Hunter's marriage plans with girlfriend Leanna Lenee after getting drafted by Jaguars

Travis Hunter has come under social media scrutiny in the weeks following his engagement to longtime partner Leanna Lenee. The Colorado standout, who was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars, announced wedding plans for May 2025. However, as he enters the league, online focus has shifted to his relationship.

Several viral moments have added to the scrutiny. In one, Lenee appeared uneasy during a post-game hug. Another, from the Heisman ceremony, showed Deion Sanders prompting her to stand during Hunter’s win. In response, the 21-year-old addressed the situation during a livestream, stating the couple was “inseparable” and that the night had been emotionally overwhelming for her. Still, their relationship remains a talking point among fans.

“Congrats to them. He’s in love. I just hope he gets a prenup,” one fan wrote.
