When it comes to his loyalty to the San Francisco 49ers, Colorado Buffaloes star Hunter has always been outspoken. He has made it clear in conversations with fans and media that he would love to join the Niners after the NFL draft. But during a recent trip to Hawaii, Hunter’s dedication to the red and gold was put to the test.
While on vacation in Hawaii with his girlfriend Leanna Lenee and her brother Kaden, Hunter found himself in a tricky situation. During a zipline ride, the guide asked him to choose between the Niners and another team. Without hesitation, Hunter proclaimed, “49ers! 49ers is the best team in America.”
However, Kaden was not satisfied with his brother-in-law’s answer. As Hunter hung from the zipline harness, Kaden jokingly threatened him, saying, “Until you say Green Bay, you’re not coming in.” Unfazed, Hunter stayed true to his team, declaring, “Well, I will hang here all day…never going to be a cheesehead fan!”
This incident was captured in a vlog on Hunter’s YouTube channel, showcasing his unwavering allegiance to the Niners. In fact, when rumors circulated about him potentially moving to Green Bay, Hunter addressed them on his Twitch channel, questioning why he would want to go to the cold city.
In a bold statement, Hunter expressed his desire to remain a Niner forever, even suggesting that he would rather stay in Colorado if he couldn’t join San Francisco. His coach at Colorado, Deion Sanders, echoed this sentiment, praising Hunter’s star power and comparing him to Eli Manning’s draft day maneuver to ensure he played for the New York Giants.
With Hunter’s dedication to the Niners clear for all to see, it seems like he will stop at nothing to prove that he is indeed a Niner for life.
