This is nothing new to Travis Hunter. This is how it should be.
The sideline isn’t for stars. It is “boring,” Hunter has said. It is for players without a choice, for players who don’t feel that missing a play is like missing a limb.
“When we played 7-on-7 tournaments in Georgia, it’d be 100 degrees in July, and you could play eight games in a day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the most amazing thing I would see is that he never came off the field,” said Hayden Gregory, Hunter’s assistant coach in high school. “He’s been doing that since he was a freshman and he can do that because he never gets tired. I’ve never seen that kid get tired a day in my life. And he just loves football so much.
“If we ever took him off the field, he would get so mad at us.”
