Travis Hunter always likes to keep himself busy with action. But little did the Buffs’ dual threat foresee his workout video to backfire. Not long ago, the NFL Rookie Watch shared a clip on X where Hunter is spotted sweating it off in the gym with pushup sessions. However, the pushups he performed were with a twist where the Buff focused more on the lower part of the body and the posture came off as if he was twerking. This landed him in the midst of a body-shaming rage where trolls called him Kardashian while others made fun of his lean arms and legs calling them “twigs”. But instead of taking offense to the harsh remarks, Hunter came up with the ultimate strategy to shut the haters.
In his latest Instagram story, the dual-threat re-shared a reel from the CU Buffs Strength page. The players are spotted lifting weights, among Hunter ensures to stand out doing something extraordinary. The caption on the story is enough to let the fans know about his achievement as he wrote “300 (a muscle emoji)”. With this, he raised his bar with the 300-pound lift. The two-way phenom is courageous enough to leave his impact outside the gym setting as well.

Besides, Deion Sanders is the HC who comes with a new challenge every passing day for his roster. But Hunter hardly faces any problems with the innovations.
