Travis Hunter decided to get baptized just before taking the field against the Seahawks aa if that was going to ensure a win over the Seahawks.
But a reporter couldn’t resist asking the million-dollar question of the NFL getting immensed in water before the game and Travis let everyone know it was a crazy question.
Hunter, 22, who plays wide receiver and defensive back, was baptized at Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Fla., as seen in a video shared by Kristine Love.
“Couldn’t find my keys this morning and was late for church, only to come upon Jacksonville Jaguars Travis Hunter getting baptized!” Love wrote, including the video of the ceremony.
“He asked to come get baptized before today’s game.”
Hunter explained that getting baptized was in his plans, and he’s looking forward to this next chapter.
“It’s Sunday. It’s God’s day. I’ve been planning to go get baptized for a minute,” Hunter said, according to ESPN. “I changed my life over to become a better man.
“It means a lot. I’m becoming a better man and leaving my old self and starting a new chapter.”
Lesson here? Don’t throw questions at someone who’s been freshly dipped in righteousness.
