Travis Hunter received a special message from his father after he was selected in the 2025 NFL draft. The Colorado wide receiver/cornerback became the second pick in the first round of the draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was an emotional moment for the 21-year-old, and his father, Travis Hunter Sr., congratulated him with a special video message. Hunter Sr. said that he "knew" Travis would be selected in the NFL draft.
"Hey, I want to congratulate you on the journey that you have been on," Hunter Sr. said. "I always knew you would be here because I never once seen you miss practice since you was four years old.

"It' means a lot to have my dad here. He wasn't able to come to the Heisman, so you know, it's a blessing, you know, to be able to have him here and he see me, you know, walk the stage and, you know, do my thing."
Hunter won the Heisman Trophy in 2024, but his father couldn’t attend the ceremony, as he was serving a three-year probation sentence related to a case involving gun and drug charges. Hunter Sr. was granted special permission to attend the 2025 draft and cheer for his son.
