Travis Hunter’s living life like he’s running a go route—full speed, no looking back. The Jacksonville Jaguars’ No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft just inked a massive $46.65 million rookie contract, complete with a $30.6 million signing bonus, married his longtime girlfriend Leanna Lenee in a Chattanooga, Tennessee, celebration, and topped it off with a jaw-dropping wedding gift: a customized black Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 BRABUS 800, reportedly worth up to $700,000. But instead of cheers, the internet’s dishing out shade, turning a feel-good moment into a viral debate. Let’s break down what’s got everyone talking and why Hunter’s unfazed by the noise. For more details, check the sports card above.
The scene at the wedding was straight out of a movie. Hunter handed Lenee a pair of scissors, and as she cut through the ribbon and peeled back the cover, the sleek, black BRABUS 800—a luxury SUV that screams power and prestige—rolled into view. Social media clips of the reveal went viral, with fans marveling at the gesture’s extravagance. This is a guy who just capped a Heisman-winning, two-way college career at Colorado, graduated, and stepped into the NFL spotlight as a cornerback and wide receiver for a Jaguars team desperate for a spark after a 4-13 season. You’d think the internet would be all over this fairy-tale moment, right? Not quite.
The comment sections on X lit up, and the vibes were less “aww” and more “yawn.” One user quipped, “Wonder what she got him,” while another took a darker jab: “All that for her to cheat.” Some even bet on how long the marriage would last, with one post snarking, “Let’s see how long this gonna last. Any bets?” The cynicism didn’t stop there. Posts on X stirred the pot further, pointing out that Hunter reportedly didn’t sign a prenup, sparking debates about his $46.65 million deal and whether he’s risking too much. “There goes half his contract and endorsements,” one fan tweeted, capturing the split sentiment—some see it as a bold move of love, others as a rookie mistake.
Hunter and Lenee are no strangers to online heat. Last year, Lenee caught flak for her stoic demeanor at Hunter’s Heisman ceremony, with critics on X calling her out for not looking “excited enough.” Hunter clapped back like the troller he is, telling reporters, “They talk about her, I post her to make them even more mad… I love my woman.” That energy carried through to their wedding, a star-studded affair just days into his NFL rookie minicamp. The timing’s wild—fresh off graduation, a top draft pick, and now a husband, Hunter’s juggling more than just coverages and routes.
On the field, Hunter’s already turning heads. The Jaguars, leaning on GM James Gladstone’s bold claim that “Travis Hunter is who we’ve been hunting up,” see him as the cornerstone of a new era alongside Trevor Lawrence and Brian Thomas Jr. His two-way versatility—locking down receivers as a corner and making plays as a wideout—has fans buzzing about a potential turnaround for a franchise that’s been stuck in the mud. But off the field, it’s the wedding gift that’s stealing the spotlight. Some fans on X called it “cheesy” or “over the top,” with one post joking that the $200,000-plus SUV (some peg it closer to $700,000) was more about flexing than romance. Others, though, see it as Hunter celebrating his success and love in a big way, especially after a whirlwind journey from college stardom to NFL rookie.
The controversy’s got layers. Some X users are side-eying the lack of a prenup, especially with Hunter’s massive contract in play—$46.65 million over four years, per OverTheCap.com. Others are just envious, with one post joking that Hunter’s “out here making us all look bad with our $50 gift cards.” Then there’s the chatter about Lenee’s gift-giving in return—one user’s “Wonder what she got him” sparked a thread speculating everything from a watch to, hilariously, “a boat,” referencing a lighthearted moment when Hunter jokingly turned down a $70,000 gift from his fiancée on Draft Day, saying he wanted a boat instead.
Hunter’s not sweating the haters. The 22-year-old’s been tuning out noise his whole career, from doubters questioning his two-way play at Colorado to critics nitpicking his route-running (a recent viral clip of his drops didn’t help). He’s all about loyalty—to his game, his team, and Lenee. The couple’s been together through his rise, and this wedding, complete with its six-figure surprise, was their moment to shine. Whether fans love it or roll their eyes, Hunter’s playing his own game, on and off the field. As the Jaguars gear up for 2025, hoping Hunter’s spark lights a fire, the internet’s watching to see if this power couple’s love story—and that BRABUS 800—stands the test of time.
