Travis Hunter’s long-awaited trip to the end zone had his biggest supporter fired up.
Moments after the two-way Jaguars rookie got Jacksonville on the board in their Week 7 clash against the Rams in London, Hunter’s wife, Leanna Lenee, took to her Instagram Stories to celebrate his first NFL touchdown.
“ABOUT. TIME. !!!!!” Lenee captioned her post that featured Hunter’s fourth-quarter score at Wembley Stadium.
Hunter, who splits time at cornerback and wide receiver, hauled in a 34-yard pass from quarterback Trevor Lawrence that avoided a total shutout overseas, with the Rams dominating the Jaguars, 35-7.
The former Colorado standout, 22, finished the game with eight receptions for 101 yards.
Sunday’s loss dropped the Jaguars to 4-3 entering their bye week. They return to action on Nov. 2 in Las Vegas.
The second overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, Hunter’s arrival in Jacksonville came with plenty of hype given his dual-threat abilities.
Although he has yet to make a profound impact, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner is preaching patience as he navigates his first year in the league.

“It’s very important for me to be patient,” Hunter said this month, according to Pro Football Talk. “I’ve just got to let the game come to me. The coaches are trying to dial up some things for me. I just got to continue to just work, and just have the guys trust me because I’m doing my job every time. I’ve just got to continue to do my job.”
Through six games, Hunter has tallied 20 receptions for 197 yards as a wide receiver. On defense, he’s had 14 tackles, 10 of which were solo.
It’s been a surreal year for Hunter, who wed longtime love Lenee in May, just weeks after being drafted by Jacksonville.
The excitement continued in August when the couple announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy.
