The NFL is already looking forward to the 2025 NFL Draft as there will be many high-end prospects that teams can draft.
One of the most exciting names to watch is Colorado two-way superstar Travis Hunter, who is off to a strong start to the season.
The Buffaloes have relied heavily on Hunter on both sides of the field as he excels as a wide receiver and defensive back.
In the history of the game, there have not been many players who can dominate in both phases like Hunter, which is why he is almost certainly poised to go early in next year’s draft.
However, former NFL defensive back Richard Sherman is not as impressed with Hunter’s attack, going so far as to call him a dull receiver.
Hunter apparently became aware of Sherman’s comment and was recently spotted wearing a shirt in response.
Underdog’s James Palmer wrote on (Travis Hunter’s) Kind of bland’.”
Travis Hunter is wearing a shirt with the word “Bland” on the front after what Richard Sherman said on Hunter’s This Week… “As a receiver (Travis Hunter’s) kind of bland.” https://t.co/8lqMxXVtx0

Addressing Sherman’s comments is a smart move on Hunter’s part, and the young prospect seems motivated to prove the former NFL star wrong.
On Sherman’s behalf, he posted a good-natured response on social media.
200 yard game coming… even if it was a mix up 🙂 https://t.co/ZtUeDRS6AM

Hunter may not be considered the best of the best at the wide receiver position, but he does more than enough for the Colorado offense.
The upcoming game against UCF is a tough matchup for Colorado, but it will be exciting to see what Hunter does on the field after Sherman’s criticism.
