“I’m not going to lie”: Travis Hunter vs Jimmy Horn Jr. debate gets firmly settled by Colorado star WR
Colorado wideouts Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn Jr. have been excellent for the Buffaloes this season. While the two receivers have their own special individual attributes, there has been a debate on who's quicker.
On Monday, Hunter settled the debate in a fan Q&A session on his YouTube channel. When asked about who is quicker between himself and Horn Jr., Hunter said:
"Bro I'm not going to lie. Jimmy is fast. But on the football field and with those shoulder pads on, I got myself."
"I'm a different type of fast with shoulder pads on. But with no clothes (gear) on, Jimmy got me," he added.
Per reports from NFLDraftBuzz, Horn's 40-yard dash is clocked at 4.34 seconds, while Hunter's timing for the 40-yard dash is 4.40 seconds.
While both timings are incredibly quick, Horn appears to have the edge.
