But there are still players and coaches who do it for the love of the game. One of the prime examples is Travis Hunter and HC Deion Sanders.

Hunter is a young cornerback prospect from West Palm Beach, Florida. He currently is a freshman at HBCU. The CB made headlines when he was considered as the number one recruit from sources. Coach Prime explains how the young athlete wanted to learn and valued the game more than the money.

We kept it 100, we kept it straight, we ain’t trying to bag you, we ain’t trying to do none of that. And they didn’t want to be bought anyway. They don’t even get down like that. We got Travis and Travis wanted to learn from me, man. He really wanted to.” Seeing how coaches like Nick Saban and Deion Sanders are still trying to help young athletes.
