Colorado Buffaloes two-way athlete Travis Hunter is officially a cyborg.
No, seriously. That’s the only totally-illogical-but-definitely-logical explanation for this mind-boggling photo from his third — YES, THIRD — touchdown Thursday against North Dakota State University. It’s also the only reason for Mark Jones wildly quoting BossMan Dlow lyrics during another Travis score.
His superhuman abilities completely buck whatever you know college football players to be. How else would I explain Travis playing wide receiver AND cornerback and only coming off the field TWICE during the ENTIRE GAME? And one of those plays was because *checks notes* his helmet inadvertently came off. ARE YOU SERIOUS, TRAVIS HUNTER?!
Travis Hunter only came off the field for 2 plays the entire game last night (per @PFF)

Naturally, it seems I wasn’t the only one in awe of Travis’ huge night and ridiculous talent. His performance got the attention of so many current and former athletes, including LeBron James and Tyreek Hill.
