Travis Hunter has been full of surprises lately. The Jacksonville Jaguars rookie and his wife Leanna recently announced the birth of a son who looks just like dad, and now he shaved off his signature hair before the first game of the season.

Hunter, 22, was the No. 2 overall draft pick in April out of the Colorado Buffaloes where he won the Heisman. He’s a two-way stud who will be featured more at wide receiver on Sunday vs. the Carolina Panthers in his NFL debut.

He had quite the offseason getting married to longtime girlfriend Leanna Lenee in April in Tennessee, and followed it up by a honeymoon in an insane two-story hotel suite.
