What happened: Matthew Stafford and Davante Adams shared high praise for Travis Hunter during the league's 2025 stop in London. The endorsement connected two veteran offensive stars with the former Colorado standout during his debut campaign.

Why it matters: Stafford, the No. 1 overall pick out of Georgia in the 2009 NFL Draft, and Adams, who recently called Stafford the most collected quarterback he has played with, represent the league's veteran tier evaluating a younger generation of talent. Their 2025 remarks in London reflected the immediate respect Hunter drew from established peers upon entering the pro ranks.

By the numbers: Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Hunter caught 28 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown across seven games in 2025, while Stafford completed 388 of 597 passes for 4,707 yards, 46 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 17 games during the 2025 season.

What to watch: Stafford, Adams and Hunter continue their 2026 NFL regular-season schedules as October play progresses.
