Travis Hunter Has a Brilliant Argument For Why He Deserves The Heisman

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. How can anyone give you what you want if they don’t know what you want? Colorado star, Travis Hunter, went on a podcast—hosted by RGIII and his weird ass wife from a war-torn Eastern European nation who sits quietly next to him—to give his argument for why he should win the Heisman trophy this year.

Ashton Jeanty is probably the Heisman favorite. T

he Boise State running back leads the country with 1,248 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.

His highlight reel is so violent, they’re banned from being viewed on your work computer. He flattens linebackers like Jerry dropping a piano on Tom’s head. Jeanty can run through any tackler and outrun anyone to the crib.

Travis Hunter is doing his thing too. Playing both receiver and cornerback, Hunter is the most important player on the team. He may be drafted ahead of his quarterback, Shedeur Sanders.

So he sat down with Robert and Grete, the Griffins, to masterfully explain why he should be the Heisman winner over Jeanty:

“He has 95 carries for 1,000 yards. If I had 95 catches, how much yards would you think I’d have?” 😳pic.twitter.com/s9dzqNLvhp

He makes a sound argument here.

Sure, Ashton Jeanty has like, 1,000 yards on 95 carries and that’s impressive or whatever but if Travis Hunter had 95 catches, he’d have wayyyyyy more yards.

For content, Travis Hunter is 6th in the nation with 49 receptions so it’s not as if he’s used more as a cornerback and hasn’t been given the opportunity to play receiver more. None of those receptions landed in the endzone. Jeanty has scored 18 total touchdowns.

But it’s tough to argue against Travis’s hypothetical. If opposing QBs threw in his direction 95 times, how many interceptions would he have?

Honestly, I say the same thing about myself every Saturday. If I had 95 carries, I could easily rack up 2,000 yards on the ground. But we’ll never know because me and Travis just don’t get the ball as much as Ashton—but if we did, you get it.
