The gesture from Beckham came after Travis Hunter’s recent hospitalization due to a cheap shot to the ribs he endured during Colorado’s thrilling 43-35 double-overtime victory over Colorado State. Hunter, who plays both wide receiver and cornerback for Colorado, is a unique talent in the world of college football. His versatility and skill have garnered widespread attention, making him one of the most promising prospects in the sport.
This isn’t the first time Beckham has used his pregame attire to make a statement. In the Ravens’ season-opener at M&T Bank Stadium last week, he sported a throwback Deion Sanders T-shirt, paying homage to another legendary two-way player. Beckham’s decision to don the Travis Hunter T-shirt underscores the camaraderie and support that exists among athletes, even across different levels of competition. It’s a heartening reminder of the unity and encouragement that sports can foster. Both athletes, each with their unique talents, serve as inspirations to fans and aspiring players alike.
Stay tuned for more updates on Travis Hunter’s recovery and his promising future in the world of college football, as well as Odell Beckham Jr.’s on-field performances as the Ravens’ star wide receiver.
