Travis Hunter recently received a lavish NFL Draft gift from his fiancée, but the new Jaguars rookie had a surprising opinion on the piece of jewelry.
Hunter’s Fiancee, Leanna Lenee, got the wide receiver/cornerback a Rolex Day-Date before he heard his named called by the Jaguars, but a new video shows how taken aback he was by the price of the item.
After looking up the price – and learning that it cost $30,000 – Hunter offered a rather brutal response to his friends.
‘S*** I coulda bought a new boat… just give me the money,’ he said in a video posted by Hellion ‘Boog’ Knight, the head of operations for Young Money APAA (the agency Hunter is signed to).
While one of the former Colorado star’s friends could be heard calling the watch an ‘investment,’ Hunter then shifted his focus to the watch on his wrist, which was also apparently a gift.
‘This is worth 70 [thousand]?.Yeah, ya’ll tripping,’ he said.

‘See me, don’t expect these types of gifts from me. That ain’t happening, my boy. These types of gifts ain’t happening, not from me.’
Hunter’s gifts came as he was selected No. 2 overall in the NFL Draft by the Jaguars, with Lenee and his mother, Ferrante, there to support him.
While Hunter had a tremendous season for Colorado and won the Heisman Trophy, things were rockier off the field as his relationship with Lenee was frequently scrutinized.
The public constantly questioned her motives for dating the star, who she’s been with for five years.
Fans picked apart a seemingly a tense moment after a game against Oklahoma State, and she was also criticized she made comments she made as Hunter was taking photos with female fans during a pre-Heisman photo shoot.
During the ceremony itself, she would find herself in hot water again when she initially remained sitting after Hunter was announced as the winner of the award.

On a Twitch stream after the ceremony, Hunter revealed that Lenee had cried herself to sleep as she continued to be pelted with criticism.
Both deleted their Instagram accounts in December, though Hunter’s is now back up.
Hunter told people to stop targeting her, specifically calling out ‘clickbait’ pages, social media accounts, and websites.
‘Clickbait pages stop, y’all better stop I’m telling y’all. Something bad is gonna happen to y’all [if you] keep doing that. Y’all better stop that. I ain’t playing,’ he said.
