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

EXCLUSIVE Lip reader reveals what Travis Hunter's wife Leanna told him amid claims she refused to kiss him at their wedding
A lip reader has revealed what Travis Hunter's wife Leanna Lenee said to him after online trolls alleged she dodged his kiss on their wedding day. Daily Mail exclusively revealed last week that the rising NFL star and his bride got married at a rustic barn in Athens, Tennessee. Hunter, 22, who won the coveted Heisman Trophy as college football's best player this year, married his longtime love, 23, at The Barn at Faith Farms, a luxury wedding venue nestled between Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the 'full experience package' is listed online as $6,000. The groom, who was drafted second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, surprised his new wife with a luxury six-figure black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Brabus 800 to whoops and cheers from their guests at its unveiling. But Leanna has come under fire in the aftermath of their special day after a video surfaced online that some claimed showed her refusing to kiss Hunter as they danced. Expert Nicola Hickling, who is the founder of LipReader, has now revealed to Daily Mail what Lenee said to her husband during the exchange after reviewing the footage. Hunter says: 'Kiss me now babe'. Lenee, shaking her head, replies: 'Not now, we're gonna make love all night' A grinning Hunter then says: 'Yeah' Their relationship has not always been plain sailing with Lenee attracting plenty of criticism online last December, following his Heisman Trophy win. Many fans criticized her for perceived slights against her now-husband, including what they interpreted as a muted response to his historic honor. As Hunter was announced as the Heisman winner, she initially remained sat down while Hunter's mother and Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders stood to their feet. She briefly stood and gave Hunter a hug after Sanders appeared to tap her, but promptly sat back down as the two-way star continued embracing his group. Fans took issue with what they perceived to be a slight, sparking horrific backlash on social media. Hunter later revealed that Lenee had cried herself to sleep following the ceremony as she continued to be pelted with criticism. 'She's still sleeping, she's slumped,' the Heisman winner shared on a Twitch stream. 'You know when you're hurt but you just cry yourself to sleep and you just be gone? She drunk [sic], like, an OD amount tonight for no reason.' Fans perceived other issues as well. During the run up to the Heisman ceremony, Lenee appeared angry at Hunter as he took pictures with female fans at a planned event. Lenee was seen seated just a few feet away from Hunter as he took snaps with a female fan, looking upset before asking him 'What do you want me to do... I'll just sit here then.' Hunter then appeared to suggest that she could leave if she felt like it, with the video catching him saying, 'You could go to the hotel, you can walk around...' There was video that resurfaced in which Lenee said that Hunter was not her 'type' before they had started dating, leading to more vitriol from fans. Then there was the aftermath of his team's 52-0 win over Oklahoma State Cowboys in late November, when Lenee and Hunter appeared to get into some sort of argument - with Lenee seemingly rebuffing Hunter's attempt to kiss her on the cheek. In the end, though, the couple appears happier than ever after tying the knot in Tennessee with family and friends on hand.
