- NFL. Shedeur Sanders' gesture wins over Browns: Saves teammate from certain penalty
Deion Sanders has been a crucial part of Travis Hunter's collegiate career and the love Coach Prime has shown for him might make Hunter his favorite player he's ever coached. In the last season, Hunter delivered a historic performance, recording 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns on offense. Defensively, he recorded 32 tackles, 11 breakups, and 4 interceptions, showcasing his exceptional two-way capabilities. His outstanding performance earned him the Heisman Trophy, making him, clearly, a favorite of Coach Prime.
Travis was the No. 1 rated recruit in the country and made the unprecedented decision to snub offers from blue-chip programs in favor of an HBCU. Deion Sanders lured him to Jackson State, creating a relationship that transcends the typical player-coach dynamic. Hunter trusted Sanders to guide his career and followed him to Colorado. After winning the Heisman Trophy, earning countless other accolades, and becoming the 2nd overall pick in the NFL Draft, it's safe to say that this trust has been paid.
Deion crowns Travis as his 'son'
For Hunter's 22nd birthday, Coach Prime took to X to wish him well and made it clear that Travis Hunter is not just a player he used to coach. "Happy Birthday, Son. Love ya, man. Be Greater & don't negotiate your Peace," wrote Sanders along with a photo of the Jacksonville Jaguars player surrounded by his individual trophies.
This tribute to Travis came just hours after Deion made a surprising ission about his biological sons. While Travis Hunter officially 'cracked the club' in the figurative sense, Shilo, Shedeur, and Deion Jr. were left to face the reality of where they stand in the family's pecking order.
On an IG story, Coach Prime posted a photo of him and Deion Jr. and wrote, "The MVP of all my kids!" Not only were Shilo and Shedeur Sanders left out, but even his daughters Deiondra and Shelomi were overlooked!
