Two-way football superstar Travis Huinter has had himself a busy couple of months.
First, he won the 2024 Heisman Trophy after a stellar season at Colorado. Hunter made waves with his two-way ability and ease in excelling on both sides of the ball. After that, due to his stellar play in his final season at Colorado, he was drafted No. 2 overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in April's NFL Draft.
Hunter, the cornerback and wide receiver, is set to make headlines in his first year, but before he even took a snap in the NFL, he already did so.
Hunter married his long-time girlfriend and now wife, Leanna Lenee, this past weekend.

In the viral video circulating online, Lenee is seen cutting a black ribbon as the crowd counts down. As the luxury vehicle is unveiled, she turns to her husband with a look of admiration and joy.
The moment was a special one for the happy couple. While they clearly love each other, many people on social media found a video of Lenee admitting that she wasn't initially interested in the athlete, who slid into her DMs.
"I just didn't respond to him. He wasn't my type," she confessed.
Hunter and his wife faced a wave of online criticism in the lead-up to their wedding. Fed up with the negativity, Hunter took to a Twitch stream to openly express his frustration and share how deeply the hurtful remarks have affected him.
"Y'all hate on me, then you go hate on my girl," he said during a live Twitch stream at the time.
"I feel the same thing that she feels. We're inseparable. We're with each other. If she's hurting, I'm hurting."
Hunter is bound to remain a hot topic of conversation, especially with his rookie season on the horizon. The Jaguars have made it clear they see his versatility as a major asset, with plans to feature him primarily at wide receiver while slowly grooming him for a future role at cornerback.

Taylor Swift on Travis Kelce's podcast? Swifties think it's about to happen. Here's why
Travis and Jason Kelce are going to have a "a special episode with a VERY special guest" on their "New Heights" podcast this week. That's big news ... because that mystery guest can be only one person, right? Read more: Jason Kelce and wife Kylie welcome daughter No. 4, who surprises Uncle Travis Kelce during podcast Just to be clear, the person in question would be Travis Kelce's girlfriend, pop superstar Taylor Swift. Kelce and Swift have been an item for roughly two years now. And while the "Love Story" singer has become a fixture at NFL games to root for her beau, she has never appeared on the popular podcast the Kansas City Chiefs tight end hosts with his brother, a retired Philadelphia Eagles center. That could change in a couple of days, based on a tease posted on the "New Heights" social media accounts Monday — and on Swifties' interpretations of the tease. The text is straightforward, simply informing fans of the special nature of the episode and the guest and noting it will drop Wednesday at 4 p.m. PDT. The real juicy bits, though — if Swift's fans are to be believed — are apparently found in the post's graphic. Over the years, Swifties have become pretty good at spotting and deciphering Easter Eggs, so here's what jumped out at the "You Need to Calm Down" singer's diehard fans (based on observations they posted on social media and Reddit): Read more: A 'swooning' Taylor Swift puts Travis Kelce where no boyfriend has gone before: onstage 1. A silhouette of a slender person with long hair appears between images of the Kelce brothers, and naturally fans are convinced it can only be that of one particular slender woman with long hair. One commenter on X insists they can see Swift's bangs in the completely darkened image. 2. Jason Kelce appears to be wearing a shirt bearing Swift's image. Swifties are noting that the garment is from the Eras tour and that Travis is wearing one from that tour as well. This reporter, who did not attend the Eras tour, has no reason to doubt them on this. 3. The graphic's background color is orange and sparkly. This apparently is seen as a reference to a particular dress Swift wore during the Eras tour. (Although didn't she famously change her outfit more than a dozen times during each performance? Or so we've heard.) 4. Travis Kelce has a giant smile on his face. OK, sure, he has probably smiled numerous times during his life — like, say, maybe after at least one of the three Super Bowls he won with the Chiefs. But apparently he has a special grin reserved for the "Lover" singer, which one X commenter refers to as his "Tay smile." Read more: Taylor Swift grabs the spotlight with 'Shake It Off' at a Tight End University event There are many other observations — including several that involve numbers, math and calendar dates — all of which clearly add up not only to Swift being the podcast's "VERY special guest" but also that she will be there to announce something else very special, like perhaps a new album. (Reminder: This is only a fan theory; please remain calm.) It wouldn't be the first time this summer that Swift has made an appearance during one of her boyfriend's projects. In June, she gave a surprise acoustic performance of her hit 'Shake It Off' at a concert linked to Kelce's Tight End University camp. Come to think of it, Swift was introduced onstage that night by singer Kane Brown as a 'really, really, really special guest.' That's pretty darn close to "VERY special guest," don't you think? Hmmmm ... Get the best, most interesting and strangest stories of the day from the L.A. sports scene and beyond from our newsletter The Sports Report.
