Buffalo, NY – March 28, 2025
Colorado Buffaloes sensation Travis Hunter has set Bills Mafia ablaze, revealing at the NFL Combine that he’s a lifelong Josh Allen stan who dreams of suiting up for the Buffalo Bills. Sources say the two-way star told scouts, “Allen’s my guy—I’ve watched him since Wyoming. I’d love to play with him,” sparking wild buzz about a draft-day blockbuster. Projected as a top-5 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter’s wish could push GM Brandon Beane to trade up from No. 30—potentially offering a 2025 first-rounder and a 2026 third-rounder—to land the phenom. With a $3.9 million cap space per Spotrac, his rookie deal (estimated $12 million over 4 years) fits Buffalo’s budget, teasing a fairy-tale pairing with their MVP QB.
Hunter’s 2024 stats at Colorado are a jaw-dropping testament to his fandom-worthy talent—92 catches, 1,152 yards, and 14 touchdowns as a wide receiver, plus 4 interceptions, 11 pass breakups, and 31 tackles as a cornerback across 12 games, per NFL.com. At 6’1, 185 lbs, with a 4.40 40-yard dash (NFL Draft Buzz), he’s a dual-threat marvel, sweeping the Biletnikoff and Bednarik Awards—the first ever to do so (ESPN). Over three seasons, he’s logged 1,849 receiving yards, 17 TDs, and 7 picks, his versatility mirroring Allen’s own game-breaking flair. “Josh makes plays no one else can,” Hunter gushed post-Combine. “I want in on that.”
For Buffalo, Hunter’s Allen obsession could deliver a Swiss Army knife to a roster craving elite playmakers after Stefon Diggs’ 2024 exit. As a CB, he’d pair with Christian Benford to shore up a secondary gashed in the 2024 playoffs; as a WR, he’d stretch defenses—14th in passing yards per game (226.4, ESPN)—giving Allen the weapon he’s missed. Bills Mafia erupted on X: “Hunter’s an Allen stan? Trade up, Beane—this is destiny!” For Colorado, losing Hunter stings as they rebuild post-2024, but his Bills dream could flip the AFC script. If Beane makes this leap, Hunter’s fandom might just forge a Super Bowl duo—or leave Buffalo chasing a costly mirage.
