Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone led the team to make a bold move. They traded up three spots to secure Travis Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft-stunning analysts who believed he would fall to the Browns.
While Hunter should have been basking in the glow of success, controversy quickly found him once again. A clip posted on May 7 by MLFootball began making the rounds online.
Fan reaction to controversial video
In it, Hunter-dressed in a pink hoodie, lounging on a rotating chair-vibes to a rap track. But what drew the internet's ire wasn't the music or the outfit. It was the flashy stack of hundred-dollar bills he casually flaunted on camera.
"TRENDING: #JAGUARS DRAFT PICK TRAVIS HUNTER FLEXING HIS STACKS OF HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS HAS GONE VIRAL," MLFootball posted on X, igniting an immediate firestorm of online criticism.
Fans were quick to enter "roast mode," questioning Hunter's maturity and financial judgment just days into his professional career.
"Put your money away and worry about holding on to it. Be like Shaq and just build an empire, he owns franchises in 50 different brands. One day soon you will be a broke down has been and you can either die penniless like Derek Thomas or have a business built for you & your family," a wrote.
Another added: "He better not acting fool and stupid with his money..."
But if there's one thing Hunter has proven, it's that he lives life unapologetically. Whether he's vacationing with his fiancee Leanna Lenee, gifting her a Hello Kitty-wrapped Tesla worth over $130,000, or delivering a new fishing kit to Coach Prime, Hunter remains fiercely himself. That authenticity-while polarizing-is part of what makes him such a magnetic presence.
