Ferrante Edmonds has always been the quiet force behind Travis Hunter’s rise. But let’s be honest—none of it came easy. She’s opened up before about how moving the family from Florida to Georgia wasn’t just about changing zip codes; it was a leap of faith, all in on Travis. She’s called him her “biggest blessing,” flipping what many saw as a gamble into a story of grit and belief.

And it’s never just been the talk with her. That faith? It’s paid off—big time. Now that Travis is officially NFL-bound, you can see just how far they’ve come. Remember when he surprised her with a house in Savannah? She was floored. “Y’all got me good,” she said, totally caught off guard. And even now, as things get bigger, she’s still out there, sharing what it really took to get here.

Whether sharing a message on her IG about the people just seeing the first-round pick and not the hard work behind Hunter’s grind, or her appearance on the “Prime Parents Live” show, she’s been candid while sharing her son’s upbringing. And now? Well, Travis Hunter’s mom is now gearing up to appear on “Lunch Time Live with UNK & CHICO.”

Yup. That UNK and CHICO. Edmonds recently took to her IG handle and announced that she’ll be appearing on the first episode of Lunch Time Live with UNK & CHICO. If you’ve ever tuned into UNK & CHICO Live, you know it’s not your typical sports talk show. Hosted by the dynamic duo, the show is a staple on YouTube’s Thee Pregame Network.

Their main gig? To offer unfiltered takes (especially on college football), non-stop laughs, and real talk as they break down the latest in sports and culture. Whether discussing Shedeur Sanders’ prank call or exclusive look at Coach Prime’s Colorado Spring Game, these guys are everywhere. And now? They’ll be interviewing Travis Hunter’s mom on their first episode.

And what could be the best time for her to give an interview to UNK & CHICO, considering Travis is reportedly eyeing a $46.5 million rookie deal.

Travis Hunter to ink over $46.5 million deal

Travis Hunter just ended the Colorado’s 14-year drought when the Jacksonville Jaguars snagged the receiver/cornerback in the first-round with the second overall pick. Safe to say the guy didn’t have to wait much longer to hear his name in the Green Room. But now that the 2025 NFL draft is officially in the books, all eyes are on how much is Travis Hunter going to make as per his rookie deal.

As per the early projections, Hunter is expected to sign a four-year $46.5 million deal with the Jaguars as per Spotrac. We’re talking a rookie deal including $30.5 million signing bonus with an average annual salary of $11.6 million per year. Well, for the time being, it’s still built off the projected model of draft picks, including the past drafts’ comparison and market adjustment.

However, given the guy will play two positions for the Jags, we can assume that he could make more. Because get this: Hunter just matched the highest draft pick in Colorado history, tying with Bo Matthews, who went No. 2 overall to the Chargers back in 1974. And there’s more—he also became just the fourth player from CU to ever crack the top five. The only others?

Byron White in 1938 and Michael Westbrook in 1995, both taken at No. 4. You can say the guy’s now a part of pretty elite company. So yeah, don’t be surprised if Travis Hunter stacks up over $46.5 million rookie deal.
