"Doesn't drink, doesn't smoke": Travis Hunter gets a massive shoutout from Pat McAfee & Co as Heisman frontrunner inches closer to NFL

Travis Hunter seems en route to win the Heisman this season. He has been the talk of the footballing world because of his standout performances both in the front and at the back.

The No. 12 wide receiver is a top pick for the NFL 2025 draft. On "The Pat McAfee Show," the company talked a lot about the Heisman frontrunner's potential and expectations from him.

"He's like super megastar. You're getting a superstar who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, no red flags, love ball roll."

This season, Hunter has recorded 1,152 receiving yards, 14 touchdowns and 92 receptions. Over the past two seasons with the Colorado Buffaloes, under Coach Prime's guidance, he has also tallied 62 tackles and seven interceptions.

When asked about Hunter’s NFL draft prospects, here’s what Mike Lombardi had to say:

"I'm going to draft him as a defensive player because he might, he might score five touchdowns, intercept and passes. His hands are that good. He's never out of balance when you watch him play defense. The guy's always in position to catch the ball and defend it.

"One of the things defensive backs have to have, everybody talks about vertical speed. Yeah, that's really important. Thank you. But you have to have great balance to be able to change direction and not have wasted motion. And this kid does it effortlessly. It's really remarkable how good (he is)."
