Travis Hunter is expected to start his first-ever NFL game on Sunday, so all eyes will be on him. He is a unique prospect, one of the few predicted to play both defense and offense in recent memory.
The Colorado product swiftly rose to prominence as one of the draft’s most anticipated prospects, and fans haven’t stopped discussing what he might bring to the field. Hunter was selected second overall following his Heisman campaign.
Hunter has even more attention now that he’s at his first game, especially since he debuted a new look. The hybrid WR/CB typically has a contemporary hairstyle with a fade on the sides and stylish volume on top, in case you were unaware.
But his buzz cut had fans take a second look when he showed up today.
Always smiling 😁 @TravisHunterJr

Hunter even stopped to smile and pose for a picture. The internet instantly shifted into jest mode, with several admirers feigning ignorance of the man. When people saw Hunter’s new haircut, it’s safe to say that the internet was rocked. But his spirits seemed to uplift one fan.
Hunter’s first taste of NFL play today may go really nicely.
