Jaguars' Travis Hunter shares field with woman he had heartwarming encounter with on airplane

Nick Wright says he loves the Jacksonville Jaguars trading up for Travis Hunter and believes the team will be dangerous with him on the field

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter had a full-circle moment with a woman he met on an airplane just days after the organization selected him with the No. 2 pick of the NFL Draft.

The encounter with Sandy Hawkins Combs occurred in May. On Monday night before the team took on the Kansas City Chiefs, Hunter and Combs embraced each other and took a photo on the field prior to kickoff.

Combs appeared to be a little taken aback by the moment.

The serendipitous meeting between Hunter and Combs came to light in a social media post.

"I had the most wonderful flight home from Denver. I met the nicest young man who sat next to me. He offered to put my bag in the overhead compartment and helped me with my tray. He was always polite, saying ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no ma’am.’ Anyone would be proud to have him as a son or grandson – so polite," Combs said of Hunter in a Facebook post.

At this point, though, Combs still had no idea who this stranger was. But then, other passengers started noticing him.
