Why is Travis Hunter's new wife Leanna Lenee under fire after their wedding video went viral?

The 22-year-old two-way sensation, fresh off a Heisman Trophy win and a top draft pick selection, recently married Leanna Lenee in a glamorous ceremony. However, their newlywed bliss has quickly turned into a hotbed of online controversy. NFL rookie 's fairytale wedding overshadowed by viral clip sparking trust concerns A now-viral video from their wedding reception shows Lenee subtly dodging a kiss from Hunter during their first dance — a gesture that many fans have interpreted as a red flag. The incident, captured in a clip shared widely on social media, has stirred heated conversations about her intentions and commitment. The internet's reaction has been swift and unforgiving. While the couple made a grand reveal of a new car by cutting a black ribbon at the reception, it was the dance-floor moment that stole the spotlight — for the wrong reasons. Social media users have accused Lenee of deliberately avoiding her husband's kiss, with some suggesting that the gesture signals deeper issues. Critics have also reignited concerns over the couple's decision not to sign a prenuptial agreement. Many fans have voiced unease over Hunter's financial future, arguing that his NFL earnings should be protected, especially given his fast-rising fame and recent multimillion-dollar contract. Leanna Lenee's past comments fuel fan skepticism Leanna hasn't been a stranger to public scrutiny. Back in December, she openly shared that she initially ignored Hunter's DM for two months, admitting, 'I thought he wasn't my type.' Though she later clarified, 'I don't have a physical type. Period. No two men that I've previously dated look the same,' that remark did little to calm skeptical fans. For many, these details are enough to question whether Lenee is genuinely in it for love — or if Hunter's spotlight played a bigger role in the relationship. Amid the growing backlash, Travis Hunter has stood firm in his support for Lenee. He continues to defend her and their marriage, showing no public signs of wavering. However, with his NFL career just beginning and the spotlight only growing brighter, how this young couple navigates public pressure could shape not only their relationship, but also Hunter's image in the league.

WATCH: Travis Hunter highlights at cornerback from Jacksonville Jaguars' OTAs
The Jacksonville Jaguars posted some highlights from one of their recent OTA practices of Travis Hunter playing the cornerback position. During rookie minicamp and the two OTA practices that have been open to the media, we've only seen Hunter playing wide receiver. However, following this past Tuesday's practice, Liam Coen did confirm that Hunter played cornerback during one practice last week. Advertisement The highlight video put together would indicate that Hunter has had at least one other practice on the defensive side of the ball. Although Hunter has seen more practice reps at wide receiver--which was the expected plan in the early going--he has been learning the defensive playbook and terminology, along with being in the defensive meetings since he arrived in Jacksonville. "It was good," Coen said of Hunter playing defense last week. "He's still learning. He's been learning a ton defensively and offensively, as we know. But that was more so fundamentals, techniques, it wasn't a ton of 11-on-11, 7 on, it was fundamentals, techniques, communication, that was what last Wednesday was. He's been learning with those guys and meeting with them extra as he's needed to." In season, there will be practices where Hunter sees snaps at both receiver and cornerback, but that won't be the case for the time being. As Coen highlighted on Tuesday, Hunter will continue to spend the entirety of practices either playing offense or defense, depending on the day. Advertisement "Fired up to have him out there, and he did a very good job getting out there," defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile said of Hunter playing cornerback last week. "He's done a great job with coach Milus, coach Lascari, and a couple of the other coaches on staff, just spending time, and he's doing extra every day. So I have a ton of respect for everything he's done." This article originally appeared on Jaguars Wire: Jaguars OTAs: Watch highlights of Travis Hunter at cornerback

Top 10 NFL preseason games to watch feature plenty of rookies (yes, including Shedeur Sanders)
By July 31, when the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions play the Hall of Fame Game, we'll be starved for football. Any football. The full preseason schedule was officially announced by the NFL on Thursday. Plenty of teams have adopted the model of not playing any veterans before the regular season, but other teams like to get their veterans on the field for at least a few series before the games count. Advertisement We'll be tuning in during August, getting a glimpse of new rookies, veterans battling for jobs and just to see football again. Here are the 10 games to watch in the preseason: J.J. McCarthy should get playing time in the preseason as he takes over as the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback. (Photo by) (Adam Bettcher via Getty Images) Cleveland Browns at Carolina Panthers, Aug. 8 The Browns made themselves a story for August with their four-headed quarterback room. All eyes will be on Shedeur Sanders, even if he's fourth on the depth chart right now. How will the Browns split time between Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, Dillon Gabriel and Sanders will be a major topic in August. If Sanders gets the fourth quarters of Cleveland's preseason games, it will keep viewers interested. On the other side, this could be a chance to see Panthers first-round pick receiver Tetairoa McMillan in his first NFL preseason snaps. Pittsburgh Steelers at Jacksonville Jaguars, Aug. 9 Will Aaron Rodgers sign with the Steelers? And if he does, will he play in the preseason? He did play some in the 2023 preseason after joining the Jets, and presumably Pittsburgh would prefer he plays some if he signs late in the offseason. If nothing else, this game might feature the first NFL preseason snaps for Jaguars cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter, the second pick of the draft. Tennessee Titans at Atlanta Falcons, Aug. 15 The Falcons didn't use Michael Penix Jr. much in the preseason last year, and we'll have to see how many snaps he gets this preseason. Penix doesn't have a ton of NFL reps, so it might be smart to get him some extra playing time. For the Titans, every chance they get to have No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward face live action in August is probably beneficial. San Francisco 49ers at Las Vegas Raiders, Aug. 16 We'll see how Pete Carroll decides to use rookie running back Ashton Jeanty in the preseason, but the sixth pick of the draft will be fun to see on an NFL field. It also could be a look at quarterback Geno Smith in a Raiders uniform. The 49ers have some things to work out as well, after an offseason with plenty of change. Jacksonville Jaguars at New Orleans Saints, Aug. 17 It's always fun to see rookies in the preseason, and there are two intriguing ones in this game. Travis Hunter of the Jaguars will be a curiosity throughout the preseason, as we get a look at if the team decides to play him on offense and defense and how much for each side of the ball. On the Saints' side, second-round rookie Tyler Shough has a real shot to be the Saints' first rookie quarterback to start Week 1 since 1971, but he probably needs a good preseason to win that job. New England Patriots at New York Giants, Aug. 21 The Patriots have a lot of new talent and the preseason will be big for them to get some chemistry before the regular season begins. The Giants have three quarterbacks worth watching. Russell Wilson is the presumed starter on a new team, Jameis Winston is the veteran backup and Jaxson Dart will be the exciting first-round pick everyone wants to see. It's not completely out of the question that Dart has a big preseason, including this finale, and forces the Giants to make him the starter before Week 1. Minnesota Vikings at Tennessee Titans, Aug. 22 This is one of the preseason games on the national television schedule, and it's obvious why CBS chose it. It's the third preseason game so we'll already have a look at Titans quarterback Cam Ward, the first overall pick of the NFL Draft. But all of his reps will be important. We'll also be watching second-year Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy. McCarthy is almost as much of a mystery as Ward because his rookie season was wiped out due to a knee injury. We saw only McCarthy throw 17 passes in one preseason game last season. Assuming the Titans and Vikings want to get Ward and McCarthy as much playing time as possible before the regular season, we should get a good look at both quarterbacks in this one. Chicago Bears at Kansas City Chiefs, Aug. 22 The Bears might not show a ton in the preseason as Ben Johnson takes over as the team's head coach. But it will be interesting to see how Caleb Williams looks with a new scheme, a rebuilt offensive line and two highly drafted rookie targets in tight end Colston Loveland and receiver Luther Burden III. And assuming Chiefs coach Andy Reid doesn't change his philosophy, we should see some of the reigning AFC champs' starters as well. Los Angeles Rams at Cleveland Browns, Aug. 23 Realistically, we could have put all three Browns games on the list. We'll stick to only two, and the third preseason game on the Browns' schedule might have some real ramifications for how many quarterbacks are kept on the roster, who is starting and what the pecking order is behind that starter. There probably hasn't been a fifth-round pick and fourth-string quarterback to generate the type of interest Shedeur Sanders has, and he makes Cleveland is the No. 1 must-watch team of the preseason. Indianapolis Colts at Cincinnati Bengals, Aug. 23 It's possible the Colts' quarterback battle is settled before the preseason finale. Anthony Richardson will be pushed by new addition Daniel Jones, though in the Colts' perfect world Richardson would show great improvement and lock up the job. If the Colts haven't decided on a starter by this third preseason game, how each quarterback plays at Cincinnati could ultimately decide which one gets the QB1 nod for the regular season opener.

Where are Jacksonville Jaguars ranked in ESPN's Football Power Index?
Where are Jacksonville Jaguars ranked in ESPN's Football Power Index? Where did the Jacksonville Jaguars land in ESPN's preseason Football Power Index rankings? Where did the Jacksonville Jaguars land in ESPN's preseason Football Power Index (FPI) rankings? But first, what is FPI? Using analytics, FPI "is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season," and results are based on "10,000 simulations." For the Jaguars, they come in at No. 22 in these FPI rankings at minus-1.9 points, meaning that against an average NFL team, the Jaguars would lose by 1.9 points based on the thousands of simulations. As we've discussed before, it feels like this Jaguars team is on the right path following the organizational reshaping that took place this offseason. Tony Boselli, James Gladstone, and Liam Coen have established a clear vision for where they want this team to go. The obvious emphasis this offseason has been on ensuring that Trevor Lawrence has the help he needs around him so that he doesn't have to be Superman on every play. This started with the hiring of Coen, who brings a Sean McVay-like offensive scheme to Jacksonville, and one that has helped produce a number of productive quarterbacks around the NFL. Gladstone would also make six additions to an offensive line unit where improved play is needed, and he also added a lot of speed to the offense by bringing in Bhayshul Tuten, Dyami Brown, and Travis Hunter. On defense, Anthony Campanile brings a flexible defensive scheme that will be quick to adjust based on what the opponent is doing and mold the system to the skill sets he has to work with on the roster. While all of that may be true, we still haven't seen this team on the football field yet. So, although the Jaguars very much look like a team ready to make some strides, how big those strides are or how quickly they happen still remains to be seen.
