Shedeur Sanders’ Heisman Hopes Soar Above Travis Hunter Due to Position Advantage

Shedeur Sanders, with his strategic decision to play as a quarterback, is now reaping the rewards. The Colorado Buffaloes quarterback is a potential nominee for the Heisman trophy, showcasing his unique skills on the field. Equally impressive is his teammate and on-field brother, Travis Hunter, a formidable wide receiver who brings his own set of unique skills to the game. Both these players are excelling in their respective positions, but QB Sanders, by virtue of his role, holds a slight advantage over wide receiver Travis Hunter in the race for the Heisman trophy. 

Cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter boasts more promising stats than Sanders, which could sway the Heisman trophy in his favor. However, the outcome of this prestigious award is a thrilling mystery, adding an element of suspense to the competition that keeps us all on the edge of our seats.

Shedeur Sanders gets an edge over Travis Hunter

A recently uploaded video on the DNVR Sports YouTube channel highlights why Shedeur Sanders would Heisman trophy even when Travis Hunter is more deserving of that award. The host emphasized that Hunter stands out as the best candidate to win the trophy, but Shedeur’s position as a quarterback gives him an edge over Hunter. People are wired to look at the QB, say he’s the best player, and credit him for the team’s victory or loss. 

RK and Jake, during their discussion, shared, “It’s really easy to look at a quarterback and say that guy is the best and he’s got all these stats, and all these touchdowns, and we pretty much credit the quarterback with the win. Anytime the team wins and the loss anytime the team loses. So I think that Shedeur has an easier path because of his position.“

However, the time will only decide who will win the Heisman Trophy. Both these Buffs, Shedeur and Hunter, will play a pivotal role in their team’s success in the upcoming season. When Shedeur leads the team, Hunter will be his prime target to drill through the opponents’ defenses, underscoring the crucial importance of their partnership.

Travis Hunter, the two-way star for the Buffaloes, won the  Paul Hornung Award for being the most versatile player in the collegiate football landscape. “Travis Hunter is just this unicorn, this once-in-a-lifetime player, this unbelievable person, and a student, and all of these things. Where it just might be like if you think about the spirit of the Heisman trophy going to the most outstanding player in college football it might just be so easy to say Travis Hunter is the most outstanding player,” said the host of the show.

In the previous season, Hunter suffered a hit on the gridiron; in the season, he scored 721 yards and five touchdowns. However, the aim is now on the upcoming season. And the Buffaloes’ fate will depend on Hunter and Shedeur’s performance on the field. Meanwhile, let us know your thoughts on these players leading the Buffaloes to a championship.
