Jaguars Rookie Travis Hunter Reunites With Woman From Viral Flight Before Win Over Chiefs

The sideline meeting capped a months-long story that began when Sandy Hawkins Combs praised Hunter’s courtesy on a May United flight.

Overview

  • About 30 minutes before kickoff on Oct. 6, Hunter met Sandy Hawkins Combs on the Jacksonville sideline in a moment the team posted to its official X account.
  • Combs attended in a Travis Hunter jersey and watched in Jacksonville as the Jaguars improved to 4-1 with a 31-28 victory over Kansas City.
  • Hunter contributed three receptions for 64 yards, highlighted by a 44-yard leaping grab from Trevor Lawrence over two Chiefs defenders.
  • Their connection started in May when Combs wrote on Facebook that the then-new draftee helped with her bag and tray and addressed her politely before she realized who he was.
  • Hunter previously described the in-flight exchange as a normal interaction, saying he was simply being himself and showing respect.
