Imagine being so beloved by your community that neighbors leave notes on your truck before every game, assuming you’ve already brought them victory. That’s the life of Travis Hunter in Colorado. Everyone knows his car, kids chase after him for autographs, and his neighborhood treats him like a local hero. It’s like stepping into a small-town football movie where you’re the star. But Hunter isn’t just any football player. He’s a rising star with NFL aspirations, and the Denver Broncos might be the perfect fit for his next chapter.

Hunter was just dropping a bomb in a recent interview when he said, “I wish I could go to the Broncos, just to stay in Colorado.” Just that simple to get the fan base working hard at cross-promoting the event. Can you picture him in orange and blue, remaining in Colorado, and contributing to the same state that supported him? It’s not just ‘locker-room talk’ – the potential realities are being discussed by fans and analysts alike, and so is Hunter’s future.

Podcasters Matt McChesney and Bailey Price, who are the hosts of Zero 2 Sixty, pounced on Hunter’s words during their show. McChesney got excited just thinking about it. Man, the internet would break if that happened. Is Travis Hunter going to the Broncos? Staying in Colorado? That’s the kind of thing that makes headlines,” he said on the show. Well, Hunter began receiving the support of the Colorado fans when he transferred to the CU, and therefore, returning to the state would be like coming home for him. Usually, a college prospect will not be so vocal about his desire to remain loyal to an NFL team but it seems like Hunter is quite different.

Of course, McChesney and Price could imagine the internet frenzy that would erupt if Travis Hunter joined the Broncos. And it’s not hard to see why. Hunter playing for the Broncos would be the natural progression from his time in Colorado; it would also bring the team a young superstar with great charisma and skill.

Bailey Price chimed in too, noting the love Hunter received from fans: “He’s already a celebrity here, man. People know his car in the neighborhood, and they come out just to show support.” McChesney even shared his perspective, saying, “The fanbase here is pretty good. They show a lot of love, man, which I like.” From children seeking to get an autograph to his neighbors promoting him with banners during the games, it is evident that Hunter used to have strong relations with the Colorado community outside the football pitch.

Well, Hunter’s on-field numbers back up the hype. This year, he’s racked up 46 receptions for 561 yards and six touchdowns, solidifying his status as a CFB legend. At the same time, he’s recognized as one of the best defensive backs in the game. However, his versatility has raised questions about his NFL future. While it’s unclear whether he’ll be drafted as a WR or CB, but his connection to Colorado makes a potential move to the Denver Broncos particularly intriguing. Hunter has already made a significant impact on the Colorado community, and fans would love to see him stay in the state. And the Broncos could certainly use a playmaker like him, and as McChesney pointed out, “This would be nuts.”

Now, regardless of his next step, Hunter’s future is bright, but his devotion to Colorado could be the key to where he goes. Whether he stays in the state or takes his talents elsewhere, one thing is beyond doubt—this dude will become a star in the NFL, and I will be following his progress.
