It's unknown whether Travis Hunter will become an effective two-way player in the NFL. He has already established himself as a two-way earner. The second overall pick in the 2025 draft received more than $12.8 million in royalties from the NFL Players Association, based on figures disclosed in the union's latest LM-2 filing. Hunter isn't named in the document; the payment is attributed to TIPENTERPRISE LLC. Daniel Kaplan reports in an item for Front Office Sports that the company is owned by Hunter. While significantly less than the $17.7 million earned by Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Hunter's figure also breaks the prior single-year record of $9.5 million, set by Tom Brady. Unlike Sanders, who signed a four-year, $4.647 million deal as a fifth-round pick, Hunter's rookie deal pays $46.49 million — fully guaranteed.
