Since 1980, no college football player at the FBS level had intercepted four passes in a season while also catching at least 90 passes and racking up at least 13 receiving touchdowns. Until Hunter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n And he is talented: watch this nonchalant one-handed catch<\/a> in warmups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What struck me, however, was his discipline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeler writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hunter told Fox Sports\u2019 Big Noon Kickoff last month that his weekly routine includes \u201cat least 10 hours\u201d of film study.\u00a0After being named an Academic All-American this past winter<\/a>\u00a0while sporting a 3.6 GPA, he switched majors from psychology to anthropology.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hunter said in an interview recently:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I just have a different type of mindset where I don\u2019t go out.

They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. (1 Corinthians 9.25, NIV)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n …But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3.13, 14, NIV)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last Saturday, Travis Hunter of the University of Colorado was awarded this year’s Heisman Trophy, given to the best college football player. Usually, the award goes to a quarterback, occasionally to a wide receiver or running back. Travis is a wide receiver AND a cornerback (a defensive player). That’s right, he played nearly every play. … Continue reading Talent Plus Discipline<\/span> ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/drbobewell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/image-3.png?resize=474%2C355&ssl=1\")
