Travis Hunter is off to the NFL and making ridiculous plays in Training Camp for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but you'd have to forgive fans for feeling deja vu when watching video from Colorado's practice on Monday that showed senior defensive back Tyrecus Davis making an acrobatic, Hunter-like interception.
It's the type of play you usually only see when playing NCAA 26. The one that makes you want to throw your controller across the room and rage-quit. The one that looks so unrealistic that it couldn't possibly happen during a real game.
For those hoping that EA Sports would have an update to remove unrealistic plays like that, you can blame Davis for this ridiculous play at Colorado practice on Monday for them staying in the game, because Davis just redefined what was possible.

The QB looks like he has a window for a simple check-down, but Davis comes out of nowhere with full extension to pick the pass off. There's simply nothing you can do about that as a quarterback other than tip your cap to the DB for making an otherworldly play that 99% of people on earth would have no chance of making.
There remains a lot of talent in the Colorado secondary even without Travis Hunter
Losing Travis Hunter's ability on both sides of the ball hurts, but his lockdown ability at CB might be a bigger loss for the 2025 Buffaloes. But there's still significant talent in the secondary, and DC Robert Livingston should be able to field one of the Big 12's top defenses even without last season's Heisman Trophy winner.
It should show you how talented Colorado is on the back-end that the guy making that play isn't currently projected to start. Davis transferred from Oklahoma State and is expected by many to be Colorado's backup at nickel to returning starter Preston Hodge, who took advantage of the NCAA's JUCO ruling to get an extra year of eligibility.
Davis could be a factor at both inside and outside at corner, however, and is likely to see the field for significant playing time even if he isn't listed as a starter. Of course, if he continues making plays like that in practice, it's going to be next to impossible for Deion Sanders to keep him off the field.
