Colorado Buffaloes two-way superstar Travis Hunter found a clever way to troll former NFL All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman over the latter’s “bland” comments that made headlines earlier this week.
Travis Hunter has emerged as a can’t-miss superstar and top 2025 NFL Draft prospect with his all-world play as a wide receiver and cornerback. But in his appearance on the “St. Brown Podcast” hosted by brothers Amon-Ra and Equanimeous St. Brown, Sherman stated that he finds Hunter “kind of bland” as a receiver.

Hunter didn’t miss a beat against UCF, racking up nine receptions for 89 yards, one touchdown along with a highlight-reel interception and one pass breakup over the first three and a half quarters.
Sherman is one of the greatest corners of his generation, with five Pro Bowl selections, three First-team All-Pro nods and a Super Bowl 58 ring on his resume. He certainly knows a thing or two about what elite NFL wide receivers look like, but let’s just say he couldn’t be more wrong on his Hunter take.
Travis Hunter Is A Top 2025 NFL Draft Prospect
A lot can change between now and next April, but the two-way superstar is widely projected to be a top five or 10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Hunter is playing at a historically good level for Deion Sanders’ group, and it’ll be interesting to see how he’s utilized at the professional level. But whether it’s wide receiver or corner, Hunte has a bright future in the pos.
