The Colorado Buffaloes are enjoying a bye week and Travis Hunter is making the best of the relaxed time with some harmless mischief. In a video, the two-way player was caught sneaking into Deion Sanders’ office and stealing a pair of sneakers that were gifted by NBA legend LeBron James.

Coach Prime, aware of this impish act act, called him out in a light-hearted banter. He said that Travis has gone “very roguish” after this incident. From the way Hunter admitted to taking whatever he can from the coach’s house, Sanders seems to be talking the truth.
Hunter seems to have made a habit of flicking shoes from Sanders’ office. When an interviewer asked him about the shoes he took from Sanders, including NBA star Ja Morant’s gift, a pair of Jordans, he replied that he can’t steal them anymore. And there was a naughty reason behind it too.
“No, I can’t steal those. He a Nike guy. So, I can’t get no Jordans off of them. But, when I get to his house, I steal whatever I can,” said Hunter in an interview with ESPN.
This comment drew laughter from the hosts, acknowledging that Deion and Travis share a great relationship.
The WR, after taking time off and enjoying a fishing trip with Coach Prime, posted on his IG story that he also stole Sanders’ boat during the weekend. He playfully captioned: “Yes, I stole his boat.”
This positive atmosphere highlights the comfort Hunter and Coach Prime feel in each other’s company. More so, it underlines the healthy environment created by Sanders for the young players in the team.
Hunter reveals the “unbreakable” bond he shares with Sanders
Hunter admitted to the great bond between him and the coach. “I know he loves me so much,” he told ESPN, adding that Sanders is like a father figure to him.
“I mean I went to his house yesterday and whatever I wanted, he was able to just let me get it. I took it if he didn’t want me to take it. We have a great bond. I know whenever I need something, I can go, and pretty sure I would get 100% of the time,” elaborated Hunter.
Deion Sanders and the team will next meet Texas Tech, who are coming off a close 23-22 win against Iowa State, on November 9.
