Travis Hunter Denies 'Fake Stumble' Claims After End-Zone Interception

He said viral social posts misread earlier Colorado interviews and that he never told anyone he staged a stumble to bait quarterbacks.

Overview

Hunter told reporters he never claimed to use a deliberate stumble and said social posts were making up the story.
The comments follow a fourth-quarter end-zone interception of C.J. Stroud and a seven-yard receiving touchdown from Trevor Lawrence in the same game.
The 'fake stumble' narrative spread after NFL insiders and social accounts reposted material from Hunter’s past Colorado interviews, not a new admission from the player.
Some analysts hailed the idea of a staged stumble as a clever defensive deception, which has widened debate about coaching, technique, and sportsmanship.
Jacksonville lost the game 34-31 on a late Houston field goal, and the club now prepares for its next matchup while managing how it deploys Hunter as both a cornerback and part-time receiver.
