Travis Hunter gets real on his and Shedeur Sanders' NFL futures: 'We just going to work'

Nick Wright believes Travis Hunter has the talent to be the face of the NFL and reacts to his confidence in learning both playbooks, saying the rookie’s two-way potential could be game-changing.

For the first time in four years, Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders will not be teammates when their football season begins. 

Hunter, the second overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Sanders, who waited two more days to hear his name called in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns, starred together at Jackson State and Colorado during their college days. 

Now, they are hoping to make an impact for their respective franchises in the NFL. 

A big spotlight hovers over both players entering their rookie seasons for different reasons. For Hunter, GM James Gladstone has already vocalized the expectation that Hunter will be the generational talent that uplifts the team, as well as the city and game of football, during what he sees as a Hall of Fame career.

In Sanders' case, he will be put in a quarterback battle that includes Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel, the Oregon product who was drafted two rounds before him last month. 

Hunter said he has spoken to Sanders since his slide down the NFL Draft board, and he knows his former teammate and great friend is ready to do the exact same thing he will to start his NFL journey.
