“It’s the only thing I ever did. Play football, go out there, study, and make sure I understand what I’m doing.”
Not only did Hunter win the Heisman trophy in college, but he also earned first-team Academic All-America honors for the second year in a row
On Thursday, Hunter shared a video revealing that he had graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Anthropology.
