Travis Hunter gets angry when his Madden rating isn't what he expected and makes a promise

Travis Hunter is hot property in college football right now and that is why he is very disappointed by the Madden rating he's been handed.

The Colorado Buffaloes star recently won the Heisman Trophy and he was expecting to have a much higher rating on the popular game that is made by EA Sports.

Hunter appeared on NFL on NBC and he spoke with former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver and current Madden ratings adjuster Chad Ochocinco. Hunter said that he wants to have a rating of 85 or higher, but Ochocinco quickly shut that idea down.

"The best I can do for you, as a rookie coming into the league, I give you a 76," Ochocinco said.

Hunter was clearly not impressed by a rating of 76 and suggested he'll be challenging Ochocinco in the past.

"If I ain't an 85 or above, we're going to have to one vs. one for the [Heisman] Trophy back there. When I beat him, I get the 99," Hunter responded.

The record for the highest Madden rookie rating still belongs to Calvin Johnson, a Detroit Lions Hall of Fame receiver. He started his NFL career with rating of 87 which is far above what Hunter is set for.
