"Everybody" Hunter has talked to said that he’ll end up in Green Bay playing for the Packers, and his response to that bit of news is hilarious:

"Why I gotta go to Green Bay?" Said Hunter. Playing for the Packers isn’t what concerns Hunter, it’s playing in the cold that has him second-guessing the idea. However, being that Hunter committed to play for a school located in Colorado, this shouldn’t detour him from playing for a team like the Packers.
The Packers weren’t the only team mentioned when Hunter spoke on the matter. Hunter said "I [he] like staying in Colorado," if he was given a say in deciding his future NFL team. However, Hunter also went on to mention that his favorite NFL team is the San Francisco 49ers.
Wherever Hunter ends up, he still has an entire collegiate career in front of him. As one of the most highly recruited prospects of his class, Hunter shocked everyone when he chose to play for head coach Deion Sanders at Jackson State University, before ultimately following Sanders to Colorado.
It is clear why so many people are infatuated with Hunter’s elite skill set after seeing his first taste of college football action against the No. 17 ranked TCU Horned Frogs. He played over 60 snaps on both sides of the ball, logging 80 snaps as a cornerback and 64 as a wide receiver.
On offense, Hunter hauled in 11 receptions to go with 119 receiving yards. On Defense, he recorded three tackles, deflected three passes, and grabbed an interception. If this game was any indication, Hunter will be terrorizing opposing NFL offenses in no time.
