Shedeur Sanders reacts to Travis Hunter signing massive $46,650,000 Jaguars rookie contract

Shedeur Sanders had a nightmare 2025 NFL draft experience. However, the draft night of his former Colorado Buffaloes teammate Travis Hunter could not have gone any better. Hunter was selected with the No. 2 pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who appear to value his two-way skillset.

The Jaguars announced Hunter's rookie deal in a unique fashion, releasing separate posts to highlight his ability to play wide receiver and defensive back.

Sanders re-posted the second announcement and indicated his approval with a single emoji.

"🤞🏽," Sanders tweeted.

According to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, Hunter signed a four-year contract worth $46,649,114, including a $30,566,628 signing bonus.

Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders appear to be on very different NFL journeys

A few months ago, there was a belief that both Sanders and Hunter would be star players in the NFL in 2025, given their college football resumes and projected draft positions. However, after a dramatic draft slide for Sanders, there are questions about his chances of starting for the Cleveland Browns.

Meanwhile, Hunter is being viewed as a generational talent. By all accounts from Jaguars practices, Hunter has been impressing the team on offense and defense.

As a result, the most likely situation based on recent trends is that Hunter will play a prominent role for Jacksonville on Day 1 while Sanders fights for a backup role in a crowded Cleveland quarterback room.
