Travis Hunter was chosen with the second pick in the NFL draft and won the Heisman in college which is given to the best player

For one lucky traveler recently flying from Denver, the answer was surprisingly high. She found herself next to none other than Travis Hunter, a top draft pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Initially unaware of the celebrity beside her, the woman shared her heartwarming experience on Facebook. She recounted how a "nice young man" offered to help with her luggage and tray table, consistently using polite "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am." She noted what a respectful and well-mannered person he was, someone anyone would be proud to have as family.

Intrigued by the congratulatory remarks and picture-taking of passersby, she turned to her neighbor and asked who he was. A glance at his Jaguar-themed pants, a smile, and a simple question confirmed her seatmate was indeed an athlete. "I'm Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags," he replied. The woman, already planning to get his jersey, was struck by his humility and down-to-earth nature, saying she never would have guessed he was a professional athlete. She gave a nod to the Jacksonville Jaguars for their excellent pick and even thanked the airline for her seat assignment, hinting at future ticket purchases.

Hunter's journey includes a recent graduation from the University of Colorado, where he also made a significant impact on their football program, having his jersey number retired after two impressive seasons, including a Heisman Trophy-winning year in 2024. The Jaguars demonstrated their high regard for his talent by trading up to select him second overall in the 2025 NFL draft. Beyond his athletic prowess, Hunter has shown himself to be a considerate individual who genuinely cares about others.

Perhaps the best example of his grounded personality? His first purchase after being drafted into the NFL: Jacksonville Jaguars pajama pants.
