Hunter is now the star wide receiver and cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars  as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Sanders will simply be vying for a roster spot with the Cleveland Browns after going to them in the fifth round.

In a recent interview with WFIN, Hunter said that he’s spoken to Sanders since his infamous drop in last month’s draft. He said that the two of them will both do everything in their power to get their work done. 

As for Sanders specifically, he recognizes that the former Colorado QB has “a lot of doubters” but knows that he’ll put in the work.

“We just going to work, man,” Hunter said.

“We both got our heads down, and doing what we have to do. There’s a lot of doubters out there for him, and he’s going to go to work. I’m going to go to work and just going to do what we’ve always been doing.”

At the University of Colorado, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter formed one of the most exciting passing combinations in college football. By the end of last season, Travis Hunter was hosting the Heisman Trophy while Sanders was looking like a first-round draft pick.
