Richard Sherman interviews University of Colorado star and consensus top NFL Draft prospect Travis Hunter. Richard made headlines discussing Hunter's two-way skillset on Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's podcast, and the two clear the air about what Sherm was trying to say about Hunter. The two go on to discuss the Heisman favorite's relationship with Colorado coach and NFL legend Deion Sanders, the move from Jackson State to Colorado, Travis getting challenged by his quarterback Shedeur Sanders, the world of NIL and social media for star college athletes, his injury last year against Colorado State, being the projected No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft and Heisman favorite, and the question on everyone's minds: will Travis play both wide receiver AND cornerback in the NFL?
