Y’all ever seen someone take over the sports world like it’s a mixtape drop? Travis Hunter got the game in a chokehold. Colorado’s golden boy, the pride of Prime’s playground, has been ghosting social media since… never mind, leaving us to piece together the puzzle about his draft. But don’t trip—Hunter just resurfaced on YouTube and made his intention clear as the latest mock draft has him linked with a $5.1 Billion curveball franchise.

Travis Hunter hopped on his podcast on Youtube with Boog and made his intention very clear on his draft stance, “You can’t you can’t predict where you’re going to be is one thing I can’t predict where I’m gonna be I don’t know where I’m gonna be so for your information I’m still not on social media” he said, laughing, leaving us guessing while the NFL universe debates his destiny.

So, let’s talk mock drafts because, honestly, who doesn’t love playing fortune-teller? Mel Kiper Jr., the OG of draft forecasts, has Hunter as the No. 2 pick, landing him with a $5.1 Billion franchise, the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, the same Browns who shelled out a cool $240 million for Deshaun Watson only to see him sidelined. Cleveland’s 3-14 season was a disaster, and they need a savior. Enter Hunter—a two-way phenom who dropped 15 touchdown receptions and snagged 4 picks in 2024. The Browns might be stuck in quarterback limbo, but Kiper’s betting on Hunter to give their roster the shake-up it needs.

Cleveland’s cornerback room could get lit with Hunter lining up alongside Pro Bowler Denzel Ward. Imagine the duo locking down offenses—receivers would need a prayer and a playlist to get through that secondary. But it’s not all sunshine in Ohio. The Browns are staring at their QB depth chart like it’s a bad meme, and Shedeur Sanders’ name is in the mix. Drafting Shedeur Sanders would help in Cleveland, no doubt, but passing on a generational talent like Hunter? That’s a move that could haunt a franchise if Shedeur Sanders doesn’t work out. After all, The Browns have a track record of destroying rookie QBs.

Hunter’s journey to this moment is nothing short of poetic. From Heisman’s dreams to becoming Colorado’s first winner since Rashaan Salaam in ’94, he’s got that dog in him. And now, he’s on everyone’s draft radar, bringing the same energy he had shutting down wideouts and torching secondaries. The buzz is unreal, but let’s not forget, the NFL Draft is as unpredictable as a Kanye album drop—anything could happen come April in Green Bay.

Travis Hunter jokes about the MLB path

When Travis Hunter isn’t breaking ankles on the field, he’s cracking jokes off it. In the same episode, Travis Hunter casually claimed he could dominate in Major League Baseball if he felt like it. “I could play baseball if I felt like it. I ain’t gonna lie, baseball making that money, so I might make the transition soon, be like a Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, get my millions over there while I get my millions in the NFL……I might not be able to hit for nothing, but I can learn that,” he said, adding he could steal bases like he’s swiping hearts in Colorado. He even dropped a Coach Prime reference, hinting he could pull a Deion Sanders and juggle both sports. Confidence? This man’s got it in spades.

What’s your perspective on:

Could Travis Hunter be the savior the Cleveland Browns desperately need, or just another gamble?

Have an interesting take?

Hunter’s swagger isn’t just talk; it’s backed by a résumé most athletes would die for. But the MLB? That’s a whole different beast. Still, if anyone comes close to pulling it off in college football, it’s gotta him. The guy’s already proven he can thrive under pressure, and let’s be real—MLB money hits differently. Imagine Hunter in the outfield, making diving catches while plotting his next move on the football field. A dual-sport king in the making? Glad he was actually joking.
