Buffs’ Travis Hunter Supports His QB1
Travis Hunter, the star WR for the Colorado Buffaloes, recently discussed Shedeur Sanders’ celebratory antics after their win against ASU on his show “12 Talks with Travis Hunter.” In this episode, he began by recapping Colorado’s successful road victory over the Sun Devils as he wore a Cookie Monster costume.
During the show, Hunter praised his QB1 for his performance and the much-discussed victory lap he took in front of the opposing student section of Arizona State. While many criticized his move, ‘The Shedeur’ was commended by Hunter. He even emphasized the importance of not letting haters affect one’s performance and the need to dominate in upcoming games.
Travis, in this much talked about video, was seen saying, “We got Shedeur showing off to the [ASU] student section. He knew it was mad, so he went there and showed his wrist. That’s how you make them more mad. You know haters are always going to be mad. Anything you do, no matter if you do anything good, so he went over there and showed ‘em his wrist, flexed on them. Which I loved him doing cause it just shows people that he don’t care.”
Shedeur Sanders is the dual-threat quarterback for Colorado. And he is currently in the midst of an impressive season. Moreover, the potential return of Travis Hunter adds anticipation, as the WR suffered a lacerated liver on September 16 but is healing ahead of schedule. His comeback will definitely enhance Sanders’ performance.
Coach Prime’s Typical Reaction to Shedeur’s Watch Flexing Move
Coach Deion ‘Prime Time’ Sanders is excited about the potential of his son, Shedeur Sanders, to profit from his famous watch celebration. Shedeur, the Colorado Buffaloes star quarterback, has garnered attention with his signature move, where he proudly displays a diamond studded Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15500 timepiece on his left wrist after significant plays or wins. In fact, he did the same during the Buffs’ victory over Arizona State.
Deion, in the most ‘Coach Prime’ way, humorously acknowledged the negative reactions to Shedeur’s watch flaunting “rich kid move,” saying that he often jokes about it with Shedeur. Coach Prime, per TMZ, emphasized the need to secure a lucrative watch deal for Shedeur, suggesting that he can’t keep showing his watch for free.
Taking advantage of the NCAA’s new name, image, and likeness rules in effect now, Shedeur can actually explore more endorsement deals within legal boundaries. Will this unique celebration open doors for the QB to reap financial benefits?
