“Act Like Pros”: Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter Alleged Feud Debunked by Colorado Buffs Authority

The Buffaloes’ two-way star Travis Hunter brought glory and honor to Deion Sanders and Colorado football by making it to the EA Sports College Football 25 video game cover. Following this, fans are quick to witness something off with Shedeur Sanders’ silence, who some people expected to be on the cover. Is it internal conflict and jealousy?

Both critics and fans are curious if the silence stems from a secret beef between the two stars. However, Deion Sanders supported them, saying that Sheduer Sanders and his teammates were “old enough to be an original Buffalo.” Let’s see one of the Buffs authorities’ take on the relationship between Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter.

Camden Dempsey clears the air over alleged rift between Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter

In his first State of the Program address, CU Buffs governor Camden Dempsey reveals the genuine camaraderie between Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. In his recent YouTube video of his first speech, he was asked if this pair of college football stars are as good as people think they are. Dempsey responded, “Absolutely. There’s a reason that they’re rated so highly in EA Sports. You come to practice every day and it’s like getting to go to an NFL practice. I mean they practice like pros, act like pros. Their bond is so strong that any beef that you’ve heard between any of the guys in the locker room is just non-existent.”

Dempsey also emphasized that their primary focus right now is to prepare for their upcoming regular season. The Buffs will kick off their first season game against dominant North Dakota State on August 29. This season is not just important, it’s crucial for both Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter who are both entering the professional league next year as top prospects. The outcome of this season could significantly affect their NFL prospects.

Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter in the 2025 NFL Draft 

Both the Colorado Buffaloes stars are highly touted players entering the 2024 season. Shedeur Sanders, who recorded a staggering 3,230 yards and 27 touchdowns last season, and Travis Hunter, who was awarded the prestigious Paul Hornung Award for his exceptional ability and talent to play both cornerback and wide receiver, have already left a mark in college football. According to CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson early 2025 NFL mock draft in early May, the two Buffs players are predicted to make the first two picks, in a nod to their potential. 

According to the mock draft, Shedeur Sanders is the No. 1 overall pick in 2025. Wilson said of the quarterback, “Shedeur Sanders made huge strides in his first year as an FBS quarterback, and he’ll be in conversation with several other players to be the first quarterback drafted.“ As for Hunter, who is projected to be the No. 2 pick, he said, “Imagine if I told you five years ago that not only would Colorado have two players drafted in the first round, but they’d have a chance to be top-10 picks. Hunter is a special talent who looks like an NFL star on both sides of the ball.“ This season can make or break CBS Sports’ confidence in the Buffs duo.
