The 2025 NFL Draft has come and gone, and Colorado Buffaloes stars Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders are stealing the spotlight. Fresh off having their jerseys retired by Colorado on April 19, the duo is now dominating NFL jersey sales, proving their college fandom seamlessly translates to the pros.
Colorado Stars Dominate Jersey Sales Following NFL Draft
Travis Hunter, selected second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, tops the chart of best-selling jerseys from the 2025 NFL Draft class. His Nike Teal Jersey, priced at $129.99, became available immediately after his selection, with Fanatics reporting high demand.
Hunter’s versatility as a wide receiver and defensive end, paired with his 2024 Heisman Trophy win, has made him a fan favorite.
“My boy to the Browns, man,” Hunter exclaimed on FaceTime with Sanders during the draft, showcasing their tight bond.

Shedeur Sanders, despite being a surprising fifth-round pick (144th overall) by the Cleveland Browns, secured the third spot in jersey sales. This is remarkable given he was drafted two days after Hunter and the other top-three member, Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward.
Sanders’ 2024 stats earned him the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year award, fueling his popularity.
“Thank you, Browns organization, for giving me a chance,” Sanders said post-draft, reflecting his gratitude amid a challenging quarterback situation in Cleveland, which added four QBs this offseason.
Fan Support Fuels Sanders’ Unexpected Rise Amid Browns’ Social Media Buzz
Sanders’ rapid climb in jersey sales underscores his loyal fan base, even as a late-round pick. A supporter on X highlighted the swift sales of his pre-order jerseys, predicting, “He’ll be #1 or #2 in two days.”
According to a fan’s analysis, the Cleveland Browns’ Instagram activity further boosts Sanders’ appeal—they shared 20 posts about him on draft day, compared to just three for teammate Dillon Gabriel.
However, some fans remain hesitant. One user on X expressed caution, ” I’m not buying one until he’s a starter,” pointing to the Browns’ history of quarterback struggles.
Hunter’s immediate impact with the Jaguars aligns with his top draft status. His jersey sales reflect a smooth transition, with fans eager to see him excel in the NFL.
Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders have carried their Colorado legacy into the NFL, with their jersey sales reflecting a passionate fan base. As Hunter leads and Sanders rises, both stars are proving their star power transcends the draft, setting the stage for an exciting NFL season ahead.
