Travis Hunter is coming off a historic season at Colorado, where he turned heads playing both sides of the ball like a total beast. Now that he’s with the Jacksonville Jaguars, he’s not planning on switching gears anytime soon. Same energy, same dominance, just a new jersey.
And when the Madden ratings drop, you better believe he will be one of the highest-rated rookies in the game.
As a rookie, he’s not just here to blend in. He expects greatness, and he wants the game to reflect that. Let’s just say, Travis made his thoughts very clear about how he feels stepping into the NFL and onto Madden.
Hunter’s Expectations From His Madden Ratings
Travis Hunter didn’t hold back when Chad Johnson, who rates players by skill for EA Sports, asked about his expectations from his Madden ratings. He had a number in mind, and anything less just won’t cut it. “If I ain’t an 85 and above, we’re going to see,” he said with a smirk, clearly not joking.
For a guy who just had a standout season doing what most players only dream of, locking down wide receivers and being one, he feels like he’s already proven he deserves respect.
That 85 mark isn’t just a number to him; it’s about recognition. It’s about showing that his game translates, whether it’s college or the pros.
And if Madden doesn’t agree? Well, Travis made it clear that he won’t accept anything less, and for that, he is even willing to put in the work. Confidence like that? That’s star energy.
Hunter Was Willing to Go 1v1 to Prove Himself
Travis Hunter isn’t just talking, he’s ready to show why he deserves that high Madden rating. Pointing straight at the trophy, he told Ocho, “We might have one v one for it.”
Then he doubled down, adding, “One V one for it, and when I beat him, I’m going to be a 99.”
That’s the kind of competitive fire that makes Hunter different. He’s not waiting around for validation. He’s calling out challenges and backing up every word with confidence.
For Travis, it’s not just about ratings. It’s about proving, in real time, that he belongs at the top of the game.
Chad Johnson’s Estimation Disappoints Travis
NFL veteran Chad Johnson, the man behind player ratings for EA Sports’ Madden franchise, wasn’t exactly handing out high scores when it came to Travis Hunter.
Despite Hunter’s explosive two-way play and sky-high confidence, Chad came in low, saying, “The best I can do for you as a rookie coming to the league is a 76.” Travis clearly wasn’t impressed, and neither was Chad when Hunter suggested a 1v1 to prove his worth.
“You say one V one, like you put on cleats, and I put on cleats, and you think you can try and cover me?” Chad challenged. Then came the real test: “We’ll do ten routes… if you can stop me on one of ten, just one of ten routes, I promise you I’ll give you a 90 as a rookie. The first ever!”
But Hunter wasn’t backing down. In fact, he raised the stakes. “I play both sides of the ball,” he fired back. “So you’re gonna have to stop me one out of ten, too.”
It’s the kind of back-and-forth that shows why Travis Hunter is different. He’s not just chasing a rating. He’s chasing greatness. And whether it’s Madden or the league itself, he’s daring anyone to doubt him.
