Travis Hunter\u2019s first NFL purchase is not one many would expect.<\/p>\n

The Heisman Trophy-winning two-way star\u2019s first NFL contract will be worth more than $40 million after being selected No. 2 overall in last month\u2019s NFL draft.<\/p>\n

But the University of Colorado alum\u2019s first purchase was not jewelry or a fancy car or gifts for his family, as some might anticipate.<\/p>\n

Hunter, who was selected by Jacksonville following a draft-day trade, revealed this weekend that the first thing he bought upon learning that news was a pair of Jaguars pajamas.<\/p>\n

He even wore the pants under his gown when he graduated from Colorado on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a blessing to be the first person in my family to walk across the stage, but I was just thinking about getting back to work and coming back and playing football,\u201d Hunter said Saturday after reporting to the Jaguars\u2019 rookie minicamp. \u201c[The pajamas], that\u2019s the first thing I ordered on Amazon when I got drafted. That night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter, who is projected to be among the best players from this year\u2019s draft class, starred as both a receiver and a defensive back for the Buffaloes the past two seasons after transferring from Jackson State.<\/p>\n

Hunter has already been working with the Jaguars offense during camp drills, and he will receive defensive reps later this week, according to reports.<\/p>\n

He has often expressed a desire to play both offense and defense in the NFL, and the Jaguars intend to utilize him both ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt definitely feels real,\u201d Hunter, who grew up in Florida before moving to Georgia in high school, told the Florida Times-Union. \u201cComing out here for this scenery, it\u2019s pretty. It\u2019s hot, it\u2019s what I remember being a little kid out here playing. I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Hunter\u2019s first NFL purchase is not one many would expect.
