Y’all ever wonder how some folks just keep stacking wins? Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are out here making it look way too easy. One’s snagging headlines like it’s a hobby, and the other? Let’s just say the Shrine Bowl chatter isn’t the only buzz he’s stealing. But hold up—this ain’t your average flex. It’s got Heisman vibes, a $6B twist, and a flavor that’s too good to miss. Curious yet? You should be.
The Sanders sons and Travis Hunter are making mad noise in the football market. Travis Hunter is living rent-free in the spotlight. The Heisman winner just casually dropped a fresh Celsius campaign on his IG story, and it’s giving major money moves vibes. First clip? Heisman Hunter’s chilling in some empty bleachers, rocking a sleek black-and-white Celsius fit, casually sipping on their sparkling orange flavor like it’s a regular Tuesday. Second shot? Full-on model mode with the hashtag #CelsiusLiveFit.
This ain’t their first rodeo of the season together—Hunter’s been teaming with Celsius since April as part of their “The Essential Six” campaign. Between his draft stock skyrocketing and his brand bag secured, Travis is absolutely winning. Meanwhile, Shedeur Sanders is stealing all PRs in the Shrine Bowl without even planning to play the game. Yeah, the Sanders crew stays cooking.

Travis Hunter’s NIL game? Absolutely legendary. We’re talking deals with Adidas, EA Sports, United Airlines, and even Buffalo Wild Wings. The man’s got more partnerships than some brands have products. His NIL value is reportedly sitting at $5.2 million, according to On3, and he’s not just stacking paper—he’s spreading the love. Travis Hunter’s big on family. He’s a family-first type of guy.
Back in March 2024, Heisman Hunter got his mama a whole mansion in Savannah, Georgia. Like, who’s doing it better at 21 years old? But it doesn’t stop there.
On the field, Hunter’s doing things no one’s ever seen. Man’s playing Madden in rookie mode. Deion Sanders and Charles Woodson walked, so Travis Hunter could run. Over 1,200 receiving yards, 15 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions in the same season? That’s absurd. Oh, and he casually bagged the Big 10 Defensive Player of the Year award while catching those tuddies. Historically diabolical, right?
Despite his insane stats and draft hype, word on the street is that Hunter isn’t planning to attend the NFL Combine. Instead, he’s locked in as a guaranteed top-3 pick in the upcoming draft in Wisconsin along with Shedeur Sanders.
Shedeur Sanders making Shrine Bowl buzz as NFL teams are vulturing around him
The only person making more noise than Travis Hunter is his generationally talented QB, Shedeur Sanders. While Hunter’s campaign is blowing up, Shedeur is out here owning the NFL conversation, especially after his Shrine Bowl buzz hit a fever pitch.
The New York Giants, holding the third overall pick, are all-in on Shedeur, prioritizing meetings with the QB at the Shrine Bowl in Arlington, Texas. Giants head coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen were front and center during his interviews, glazing over his leadership and potential. And get this—he ain’t even planning to play in the game on Jan 30th, but his name’s still ringing bells around the league.

Shedeur’s resume is nasty. 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, a 74% completion rate, AND he broke every record Colorado ever had. Oh, and he led them to a 9-4 season with an Alamo Bowl spot. Awards? Homie walked away with the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, and first-team All-Big 12 honors. Shedeur ain’t shy about his skills, either: “I’m the most guaranteed risk you take,” he said, straight face, no cap.
Meanwhile, the Browns are in the mix, but let’s be real—they’re where rookie QBs go to die. They’ve literally nerfed Baker Mayfield and made us believe that Baker Mayfield was a bust. Since ’99, they’ve had 40 QBs try to make it work. Even NFL Legend, Uncle Shannon Sharpe, said ‘BIG NO’ to Shedeur heading there.
On the flip, the Titans are reportedly eyeing Travis Hunter with their first overall pick. Between Shedeur and Travis, these boys are running the draft convo, and everybody else is just playing catch-up. From securing NIL bags to owning the draft buzz, Travis and Shedeur ain’t just changing the game—they’re rewriting it.
