Travis Hunter Spills the Beans on Why He Wants to Be Drafted After Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 Draft Class

Buffaloes’ two-way star, Travis Hunter was caught sharing his thoughts for the 2025 NFL Draft on film. As Colorado is gearing up in their off-season grind, taking a break from their routine, Hunter expressed a desire for Buffaloes quarterback, Shedeur Sanders and showcased his strategic thinking with a detailed financial plan. 

With this, his aim revolves around maximizing financial gains for Shedeur so that he sets the stage for good deals for the other players. In this way, Hunter envisions his draft position revealing a keen understanding of the dynamics at play. 

Numbers game brought forward by Travis Hunter

In the cutthroat world of professional sports, Hunter therefore delves into outlining a numerical scenario that could elevate the financial standings for the players. As captured in the YouTube video, Hunter states, “I hope he won so he can set that money up for us. They going to give me 14 then he going to get 13, then it going to be up. See if he get 23 they got to come back with 18 at least.”

It’s around Shedeur that Hunter’s aspirations loom around. Hunter hypothetically suggests, that initially, he envisions himself in the draft spot that will help him acquire 14 million dollars. However, the calculation doesn’t stop there, as he anticipates a negotiation where Shedeur may secure a higher pick. In that case, if Shedeur receives 23 million dollars, his position might get altered and he would receive a contract amounting to 18 million dollars. This gives rise to a bigger discussion around the prospects of both Shedeur and Hunter.   

Prospects of Hunter-Sanders dynamic duo

Despite a tough season for the Buffaloes, Shedeur and Hunter have set the stage for a potentially groundbreaking 2025 NFL Draft. The analysis by ESPN’s Field Yates suggests that the dynamic duo could claim the coveted first and second picks in the upcoming draft. Leading the charge of Buffaloes’ quarterback, Sanders amassed an impressive 3,230 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and only three interceptions in 11 games. These numbers had been motivating for Sanders himself who made a confident proclamation stating, “I’m biased, but I don’t see a quarterback that’s better than me”.
