The appearance comes at a pivotal moment.
Hunter, selected No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, is projected to sign a four-year deal worth around $46.5 million, including a $30.5 million g bonus.
With the spotlight growing brighter on the two-way phenom, Edmonds' voice adds a powerful layer of perspective, especially for fans interested in what it really took to reach this stage.
While the Lunch Time Live interview hasn't aired yet, Edmonds has previously opened up about her son's journey.
In a 2024 interview with ESPN, she reflected on the decision to relocate from Florida to Georgia to Travis's football career, a move that brought both opportunity and hardship.
"We went through it. We endured it, but it also made us stronger. Not just one of us, but all of us," she said.
"Sometimes the tests and the trials that you go through can make you stronger, make you wiser, and make you that much hungrier."
Edmonds has long been open about the community that helped raise her son, especially during his time at Collins Hill High School.
When Travis moved in with his defensive backs coach's family, she saw it as a crucial part of his development.
"It takes a village to help with that child," she said.
"They did exactly what I was not qualified to do. We all have different roles, and the roles they played with my son were amazing."
Edmonds has stayed grounded even as her son rose to stardom at Colorado and became one of the highest-drafted players in school history.
Whether posting on social media about the sacrifices made or sharing behind-the-scenes stories in interviews, her honesty continues to resonate with fans.
Her podcast appearance on Lunch Time Live with UNK & CHICO promises to deliver more of that insight.
Known for their unfiltered takes on sports and culture, UNK & CHICO have become a fixture on Thee Pregame Network.
With Travis Hunter on the verge of redefining the role of two-way players in the NFL, there's no better time for Edmonds to share her side of the story.
