WATCH: Travis Hunter's reaction to Saints passing on Shedeur Sanders goes viral as Colorado QB's draft stock takes massive blow

Travis Hunter was selected with the No. 2 pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday. The Jaguars traded up with the Browns to get the 2024 Heisman winner. While it is an exciting moment for Hunter, the same cannot be said for his Colorado teammate Shedeur Sanders.

The quarterback's draft stock has rapidly declined over the past few weeks. Despite being projected as a top first-round prospect, his name was not called in the top 10. Sanders was projected to go to the Saints at No. 9 after Derek Carr's injury. However, they decided to go the non-quarterback route and get Texas OT Kelvin Banks Jr.

Travis Hunter was in the middle of his draft presser when the New Orleans Saints were on the clock. He paused his interview to listen to Commissioner Roger Goodell announce the Saints' pick. Hunter was visibly disappointed with the result, stating that he thought it would be Shedeur Sanders going to the team.

The video of his reaction was posted by Yahoo Sports on X and has racked up over 300,000 views.

Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders have been playing together since Jackson State. They both joined the Buffs in 2023 when Coach Prime took over as the head coach.

Sanders is now expected to be a second-round prospect. The Giants decided to pass on him twice in the first round. They selected Penn State's Abdul Carter with the No. 3 pick. The Giants traded with the Texans to select a quarterback 25th overall, placing their faith in Ole Miss star Jaxson Dart.

Travis Hunter, on the other hand, will begin his NFL journey with the Jaguars. It is still unclear whether the team will allow him to play extensively on both sides of the ball.
