As he got his 2025 NFL Draft outfit together, Travis Hunter got a special gift from his fiancee. She gave him a Rolex watch and a bracelet to top things off.

Leanna Lenee surprised Hunter with the watch as he got ready to attend Thursday’s draft in Green Bay. It’s the perfect complement to his outfit, which he’ll showcase on stage after commissioner Roger Goodell calls his name.

Hunter will be in a black shirt with a black tie, black pants and black shoes as he waits in the green room and eventually takes the stage. He will top the outfit off with a hot pink jacket to tie it all together – and, of course, the watch courtesy of Lenee.

Hunter totaled 1,258 yards and a Big 12-leading 15 touchdowns on offense while adding 36 tackles and four interceptions on defense as a cornerback. He isn’t shying away from his desire to play both ways in the NFL, although it’s worth seeing what that plan would look like.

Ahead of the draft, Hunter cashed in with multiple endorsement deals. He signed an exclusive partnership with Panini America and headlined adidas’ group of rookie additions to its NFL roster, joining fellow blue-chip prospect Abdul Carter as part of the 12 players to come on board.

Travis Hunter impressed during Colorado’s “Ain’t Hard 2 Find” showcase ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. That cemented him as one of the top prospects, and ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said it doesn’t appear likely he’ll drop past No. 4.

“The talk is that he’s probably the best player in the draft. He absolutely should go somewhere in the top three. He had the streets buzzing with just the way he was moving around, the athleticism he showed as a wide receiver,” Fowler said on SportsCenter after the showcase. “Talking to teams last night, they thought he was planning to seed that, ‘Hey, I want to be a wide-out.’ He didn’t do one backpedal yesterday as a cornerback, despite a lot of teams seeing him as a cornerback above a receiver. 

“They’re grappling with where to play him. Can he truly be a two-way type player? Might be a situation where he’s a receiver and can be a third-down cornerback for a team. I’ve talked to some teams that look at him that way. They’re trying to figure that out, but they almost don’t care because he’s so talented and he’s going to be such a star in the league, they just want to get them. So the feeling is like, Giants at No. 3, Patriots at No. 4 would be his absolute floor right now.”
