Travis Hunter’s first NFL buy isn’t one many would count on.
The Heisman Trophy-winning two-way star’s first NFL contract will probably be price greater than $40 million after being chosen No. 2 total in final month’s NFL draft.
However the College of Colorado alum’s first buy was not jewellery or a flowery automobile or presents for his household, as some may anticipate.
Hunter, who was chosen by Jacksonville following a draft-day commerce, revealed this weekend that the very first thing he purchased upon studying that information was a pair of Jaguars pajamas.
He even wore the pants underneath his robe when he graduated from Colorado on Thursday.
“It was a blessing to be the first person in my family to walk across the stage, but I was just thinking about getting back to work and coming back and playing football,” Hunter mentioned Saturday after reporting to the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp. “[The pajamas], that’s the first thing I ordered on Amazon when I got drafted. That night.”
Hunter, who’s projected to be among the many finest gamers from this 12 months’s draft class, starred as each a receiver and a defensive again for the Buffaloes the previous two seasons after transferring from Jackson State.
Hunter has already been working with the Jaguars offense throughout camp drills, and he’ll obtain defensive reps later this week, in keeping with stories.
He has usually expressed a want to play each offense and protection within the NFL, and the Jaguars intend to make the most of him each methods.
“It definitely feels real,” Hunter, who grew up in Florida earlier than shifting to Georgia in highschool, instructed the Florida Occasions-Union. “Coming out here for this scenery, it’s pretty. It’s hot, it’s what I remember being a little kid out here playing. I love it.”
