We've certainly never had a player like him. Hell, college football might not have either.

Legit Heisman candidate. He stays healthy, he can win it. Not saying he will, but he could.
What’s wild is half way through the game, they showed his post about winning the Heisman and I was thinking, “nah, come on man, just do your job”. Then he kept balling out and I thought, “jeez, he’s right “
To be able to recognize the play and the defensive breakdown, knowing the only hope was for him to come off his assignment, shows a guy who is at the top of his game with putting in the work to have elite field awareness / football IQ. Stack that with having the athletic ability to turn that mental part into the quick twitch reaction and athletic ability to get there puts him on such an elite level I can't compliment it enough. It's superhero stuff.

Travis Hunter has a motor like no other, and was bestowed with freak athleticism, and awareness too?!
He stays in bounds on that TD catch, and catch’s that first deep ball. He has close to 200 yards receiving.
The way he played today, did 2-way players (Peppers and Woodson come to mind) play those kind of snap counts?
I’m so glad he’ll be back next year.

Here's a very impressive breakdown of the play and how it contrasts with what happened when CU's offense ran the same exact play against TCU's defense.
Travis was superhuman to get the INT, but the entire defense recognized and adapted to the play call. That's elite coaching.

He’s going to get paid, eventually, and he knows it. He has something to prove, if only to himself now.
Did you not see Prime play?
Crazy that out of everything that happened on Saturday, the play of the game, IMO, was Hunters jump ball catch on 3rd and 16 late in the 4th. Buffs had to have it, coverage was perfect and he made a play that 99% of WRs in the country don’t make.
You can have a brilliant playcaller and offensive scheme, which they do, but sometimes you just have to trust your best players to make plays above the X’s and O’s.
**** I can’t wait for Saturday.

Not really. I was only 8 years old when he retired. lol I've seen the highlights of course but never live. I wish I was able to though.
Yes, you could tell in that moment how much trust they have in each other as teammates. The game was on the line and this was a critical situation. Throwing the ball to Travis in that situation in the coverage he was in was based on pure trust that he would make a play cause he had too for us to win, and he did. It was amazing.
Watching him play is gonna be so f***ing fun this year.
Is this the time to point out that Deion Sanders (that is what he was called BACK THEN) actually said that "it was a business decision" when asked why he didn't tackle someone.
I love the way Deion played the game. He was a CB and to survive long term, he knew that NOT being a big hitter (or going out of bounds on kickoffs) was a business decision.
I am completely OK with that.
The Heisman is at his crib, chilling right now
I'm sold on THunt. Dude is a freaking baller that makes it look easy.

He was called Prime Time then too. Maybe not by you Philly fans, but pretty much everyone else.
That’s what she said
Yeah. Who could forget Chris Berman and Tom Jackson saying, “Prime Time! Prime Time!” during the highlights show every time he took one to the house?He was called Prime Time then too. Maybe not by you Philly fans, but pretty much everyone else.
