Deion Sanders Name Is Thrown In After Travis Hunter’s Injury But The Blame Doesn’t Add Up

Former Fox Sports figure Jason Whitlock thrives on controversy, evidenced by his ongoing feud with Joy Taylor and numerous harsh critiques from ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. Rather than dampening his spirits, these clashes seem to fuel Whitlock's provocations. His latest target is Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, affectionately dubbed Coach Prime. Whitlock has scrutinized Sanders’ handling of Travis Hunter, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner and second overall pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars. After Hunter underwent season-ending knee surgery, Whitlock controversially blamed Sanders for overextending Hunter with dual responsibilities in college: “He was mismanaged by Deion.” This perspective overlooks how Hunter thrived in college, showcasing impressive skills on both offense and defense. Meanwhile, Jaguars head coach Liam Cohen has yet to determine whether Hunter will continue as a two-way player or switch his focus when he returns next season.
