Travis Hunter Appreciation Thread (Awards: HE12MAN, Walter Camp, Biletnikoff, Bednarik, Lott, Paul Hornung, AP PotY)

Hayes is a 20something Gen Z that obviously doesn't remember Derrick Henry or Melvin Gordon doing similar Ashton Jeanty things in the SEC and B1G. But we have LITERALLY never seen a player in College Football doing what Travis is doing.
If the discussion is between Travis and jeanty that's a big win for Travis. Smart.
Yeah. Jeanty is putting up Joe Dudek numbers!
He straight up says "hasn't seen someone since..." vs Travis something you have never seen
That would be pretty bad ass.
Reading the tea leaves, I would bet that the Raiders make a move to draft Shedeur. Davis loves him and his mentor Brady is buying a piece of the team.

I remember Gary Barnett saying a few years ago that Laviska Shenault was the best player at CU in a decade. As good as Shenault is, Travis Hunter is at another level entirely.
I also think that Shedeur can have a really good NFL career, but a lot will depend on the coaching he receives. Right now, we are seeing him display raw talent, but he really needs someone to coach him up, and I don’t see that happening at CU at the moment.

What is crazy is that when you watch him he is just a natural as a player, he makes everything look so easy as if he isn't trying that hard and yet he is faster, quicker, smoother than everybody out there.
Then you realize that he is doing it on both sides of the ball. He would be elite if he were only on one side but he does it on both. If he only played one side or the other he would be one of those top 5 guys, he does it on both.
Stack on his professionalism with film study + practice and training habits and it's a lock that NFL GMs are going to fall in love with him leading up to the draft.
This, he is amazingly good and he knows he is good but he still wants to be better.
Also watch his interactions with his teammates and coaches, they love him.
He has all the reason to have a huge ego and instead he is all about the team and making everyone better.
AP 1st Team AA at midseason on both offense and defense. We'll probably never see this again in CFB.
The 9.9 ypc is insane. I can't think of anyone who has done that with a full workload. I was thinking Faulk might be the comparison (in the WAC). He averaged 7.1 as a freshman and 6.2 as a sophomore. Dickerson averaged 7.0 as a senior.
I haven’t seen a single play this season. Is he an amazing player or is Boise’s OL just blowing up huge holes?
Is Nash is a 1st rounder?
He's the complete package at RB.
Yeah what he's doing is crazy. McCaffrey and Derrick Henry were in the 6-7 ypc range, but that was also the SEC and Pac 12. Bryce Love at Stanford rushed for 2100 yards his Junior year and was over 8 ypc.
There are a handful of RBs over the last 10-15 years who have been on a similar pace as Jeanty through 6 games (Fournette, Love and a couple others I can't remember), so we'll see how the second half of his season goes.
I do think competition matters. Like, Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Leonard Fournette, Najee Harris, Saquon, Bijan, etc are all probably doing what Jeanty is doing if they played at Boise State.
Here are his highlights against Oregon. Kind of gives you a feel for what kind of runner he is.
I'm not sure where he projects in the draft.
Yak just doesn't stop, man.
