The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up with the Browns to get Travis Hunter with the second overall pick. The Colorado Buffaloes star was projected as a top-three prospect. However, Hunter going to the Jaguars in a trade-up was a curveball that not many expected.
Travis Hunter's head coach, Deion Sanders, was not present for the occasion in Green Bay. Coach Prime and his son, Shedeur, decided to be in Texas with friends and family for the quarterback's big day. However, he was still on his feet for the two-way star's big night. Sanders was accompanied on the occasion by rapper Gillie da King.
The Colorado Buffaloes shared a video on social media. It was a clip showcasing Coach Prime and Gillie da King's reaction to Travis Hunter's draft selection. Both of them let out a smile upon hearing Hunter's selection by the Jaguars while giving him a round of applause.

Shedeur Sanders and his brother Shilo were also elated after the Jaguars made the blockbuster trade to draft Hunter with No. 2 pick.
Hunter had a successful two-season stint in Boulder after transferring from Jackson State. He helped the Buffs rise from the slumps after a disappointing 1-11 campaign in 2022. Last season, the two-way star played a big role in helping the team to a 9-4 campaign and an Alamo Bowl appearance.
Travis Hunter ended his final collegiate campaign while recording 1,258 yards and 15 TDs as a wide receiver and 36 tackles and four interceptions as a cornerback. He also solidified his collegiate legacy by winning the Heisman trophy.
Now, Hunter is looking to continue playing both sides of the ball professionally in the league. In his post-draft interview, he said the Jaguars had not pressured him into sticking to one certain position and wants him to do things in his own way.
