Jaguars' Travis Hunter discusses transition from Heisman Trophy winner to dual-threat NFL rookie

Rob Gronkowski joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss Tom Brady’s broadcast comeback, why today’s college athletes transition more smoothly to the NFL and his outlook for week one of games.

College was plenty of fun and games for Travis Hunter — and how could it not be?

The former Colorado standout became a household name after transferring from Jackson State, alongside Deion and Shedeur Sanders, by making plays on both offense and defense.

In his final season as a Buffalo, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy and parlayed that into becoming the second overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who gave up a haul in the NFL Draft to get him.

He's currently listed as the Jags' No. 2 wide receiver and No. 3 cornerback — ironically, he was originally seen as more of a corner than a receiver early in college.

Hunter mastered both ends of the field in college, but the National Football League is a different beast.

Everyone is faster, stronger and wiser. That latter detail is what Hunter has been trying to focus on since getting drafted.

"Just the mental part, you gotta be mentally strong and ready for whatever comes your way," he told Fox News Digital. "You still got a point to prove. And the playbook, you gotta retain stuff a lot faster and apply that to the field."
