When Hunter announced he would follow Sanders to Colorado, he discussed the decision in avideoon his channel. “I committed to Coach Prime at Jackson State when he was there, and I want to honor my commitment and stay with him. I’ve got to stay with my dawg.”
During an appearance on Shannon Sharpe’sClub Shay Shaypodcast, Sanders praised Hunter as a player. “Trav has got a want inside of him that’s insatiable,” he told Sharpe.
Sanders continued: “He has a work ethic that’s unparalleled and he ain’t scared of the moment. A lot of guys are afraid of the moment. They say they want that rock, but then you don’t win. When [Hunter] is calling for it, he’s going to win.”
To announce the video podcast series, Hunter tested his knowledge on Sanders' iconic career.
The cornerback correctly answered questions about his coach’s Super Bowl wins (Sanders won 2) but underestimated Sanders' eight pro-bowl selects during the trivia session.
