Yep. Finding that balance of what he can handle on both sides of the ball may take some time. We'll see how his body holds up

they've GOT to get trav a 3rd color jersey. he deserves it. greatest athlete i've ever seen
Injury is the only thing that will stop him from being a superstar.
Let’s be honest here. Most of the NFL will have inferior talent vis a vis Travis so he will still be doing it against inferior talent.
You are an incredibly selfless person
I really believe Travis can do just as well on both sides of the ball as he did in college. The NFL game is slower but obviously a longer season. Pull him when he's not needed (short yardage rush situations on both sides of the ball), no special teams, take him out if the game is out of reach etc. He can do it.
It’s not really the physical part that’s the problem it’s the mental side and not being a full time participant in the offensive of defensive install throughout the week in the film and meeting rooms as well as the practice field.
His usage in college was virtually impossible, so I don't think the conventional wisdom applies. Unicorn.
He is a unicorn, so if someone can do it, it'll be him
Ranking the No. 1 recruits of the 21st century: Travis Hunter or Vince Young for the top spot?
Where does Adrian Peterson rank? Is Jeremiah Smith worthy of a spot in the top 10 after one season? What about Arch Manning?

I'm not sure if everyone can see this paywalled The Athletic article, but it ranks every #1 nationally ranked high school recruit from each year in the 21st Century, based only upon college performance (not NFL). Vince Young and Travis are ranked 1 and 2, which is correct in my mind. Great article.
Congratulations, Travis! So happy for you!
Hell, he deserves it. You see one or two of these guys in an era. One of them is our head coach.
That, is a lot of money. Good for him.
Uncle Sam got about 35% of it.
Florida and no income tax
No state income tax. The Feds will still get about 35% and then each of his away game checks will be taxed at those state tax levels.
Can we break down his property and sales tax now?
I did not know that
True, but I don't think he'll be hurting too much.
Yeah, technically when you go work for your company in Chicago, you owe Illinois state taxes on the money you earn while there (and Colorado will give you credit on your CO taxes for that income).
Most states (and taxpayers) ignore/ don't enforce this for typically salaried workers like us - it's not worth the hassle to pursue someone for taxes on 16 (or whatever) days of wages.
But, for highly compensated individuals like, say, professional athletes, they absolutely don't ignore it.
Don’t forget his spot in Louisville
Taxes will be about 37.5% but he gets to keep the $19,100,000 after taxes from just the signing bonus which seems pretty good.
Unless he buys a house in which case it will just about cover his homeowners insurance.
