If anyone other than Sanders bros gets special treatment from Coach Prime it’s none other than the Buffs dual-threat Travis Hunter. The bond between Deion Sanders and Hunter has gone beyond gridiron as the coach-player duo is often spotted spending gala time catching some fishes! But the CFB fans hardly expected Hunter to demand the prince treatment from Deion.
Now that the Buffs HC is on a mission to challenge NBA legend LeBron “King” James’ record with his son, the Buffs two-way star playfully showed up to be upset. But more than Hunter, it’s the fans who got upset at the athlete and slipped him into the troll list.

Deion and LeBron “King” James have been long time buddies. Even though their path varies, their life story is somewhat similar when it comes to fatherhood. Like Deion’s son Shedeur, LeBron’s son Bronny is a prodigious figure when it comes to basketball. On Sunday, October 6, LeBron and Bronny played against the Phoenix Suns and became the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game together during a 118-114 preseason loss. How could Deion just resist this opportunity to try it with Shedeur. He playfully dropped a promise, “I’m COMING Back to play with my sons to! This is HISTORICAL! Give this man his FLOWERS NOW! This speaks to Fatherhood, Excellence & Longevity. @KingJames @BronnyJamesJr.”

Well, Hunter can’t live without getting all the attention from Deion. So much so, that he didn’t even inch before dropping his comment. While we assume it to be a joke, the Buffs dual-threat questioned, “Ok now why I’m not in this picture.” Having a soft heart for Hunter, right from the beginning, he couldn’t just leave the two-way star sitting with the sad feeling. Trying to mend things, Deion replied with a GIF that read, “I can fix that”. It goes without saying that Coach Prime might treat Hunter as someone special like his kids. But for the fans, this type of indulgence is a big NO-NO!
Fans troll Travis Hunter for being the fourth-wheel
What’s your perspective on:
Is Travis Hunter overstepping by wanting a fatherly bond with Deion Sanders, or is it all in fun?
Have an interesting take?
There are no second doubts in the fact that without Hunter, the Buffs won’t be able to go out hunting anymore. But he needs to understand that he is the fourth wheel in Deion-Shedeur-Shilo’s bond. He can do that with his own dad perhaps, you may think. Similar voices echoed in the comments section, “Is your dad not in your life? Serious question.” Another curious fan dropped a line now seeking out the father of Hunter, “Don’t he got his own dad?”
The Buffs two-way star has got himself tangled with Coach Prime and thus may also find himself as the nominee for Shedeur’s policies as a fan jokingly commented, “like you going to stop leaving me out frfr lol now it’s time to add him to the trust fund @deionsanders 😂” . Taking the leg pulling further, one user said,“You look like you had a different momma,” a fan dropped a sarcastic jab amazed that even though Hunter has placed the Buffs HC in the father’s role, he and Shedeur have different mothers.

Another Buffs loyalist jokingly pointed out the underflowing tension between Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders on and off the gridiron that can be taken as sibling rivalry. “Travis really is Deion other son 😭 you really see it when Shedeur and Travis be going at it. They argue like they real brothers 😂😂.” Now that Deion Sanders has assured to fix it, does it mean that the two-way star will get a chance to be a part of the recording-making? Maybe, Hunter will have to wait for opportunities to make records with Coach Prime, but in fishing they will surely be the duo!
