Deion Sanders Rebuts Eli Manning’s Claim on Travis Hunter’s College Practice

Practice footage with documented snap counts contradicts the assertion that Travis Hunter skipped offensive work at Colorado.

Overview

  • Eli Manning said on the ManningCast that, per Jaguars coach Liam Coen, Hunter practiced zero with the offense in college and relied on sideline signals for routes.
  • Deion Sanders called the claim a lie, explaining Hunter alternated four to five reps with the first-team offense and defense throughout practices and noting practices were filmed.
  • A Colorado practice clip showing Hunter working on offense with quarterback Shedeur Sanders circulated online to challenge Manning’s account.
  • Hunter’s record includes major offensive production and balanced college snaps, and through five NFL games he has logged 198 offensive snaps versus 126 on defense, per Pro Football Reference.
  • Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said the staff is trying to maximize and optimize Hunter’s time on the field as debate continues over the sustainability of a two-way NFL role.
