Travis Hunter sparks concern among fans after questionable plays raise doubts about his performance

It wasn't supposed to start like this. Travis Hunter, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft and one of the most anticipated players in recent college football, is making headlines again but not for the reasons anyone expected. A series of training camp clips have surfaced online, and fans are raising eyebrows over what they're seeing.

To be clear, it's still early preseason hasn't even kicked off yet but the reaction is loud and real. This is Travis Hunter we're talking about. The two way phenom who lit up the field at Colorado under Deion Sanders, making highlight reels weekly and dominating both sides of the ball. Now, in his firstNFLcamp, that same confidence and control seem to be missing in action. And fans are starting to worry.

Travis Hunter's rocky start has fans concerned

Whatever it is, the vibe is off. It's not that Hunter looks bad, he just doesn't look like the guy fans fell in love with at Colorado. The explosiveness isn't there. The swagger is muted. And in a league where first impressions matter, especially for rookies drafted at the top, this shaky start is getting attention. Maybe it's mental. Maybe it's physical. Maybe it's just growing pains. But people are watching closely.

Of course, rookies often struggle early. The NFL is a different beast. And Hunter, more than most, carries the pressure of expectations, media hype, and his unique two-way skill set. He's not just expected to be good, he's expected to change the game. So even the slightest hiccup becomes a headline. But the reality is, sometimes greatness takes a minute to show up. Even legends have rough camps.

Still, as training camp rolls on and preseason games get closer, Travis Hunter will be under the microscope. Whether this is just a bump in the road or something deeper, only time will tell. Fans want answers, and Travis will need to show them soon that the hype is still real.
