Shannon Sharpe fires back at Jaguars star Travis Hunter’s wife after ‘two way’ shade

Jacksonville Jaguars star Travis Hunter became the first NFL player in 24 years to catch a touchdown pass and record an interception in the same game on Sunday.

His wife, Leanna Lenee, took this opportunity to call out NFL icon and media personality Shannon Sharpe, who she believes has been critical of Hunter.

During Sunday’s game, Hunter’s wife posted an Instagram story that was captioned, “Anyways… @shannonsharpe84 When you speak about my husband make sure you put ‘TWO WAY’ player in front.”

She has clearly taken issue with past comments Sharpe has made about Hunter.

Sharpe responded to this callout from Hunter’s wife during an episode of his “Night Cap” show on Sunday night.

“We’ve been abundantly clear that the likelihood of him playing every snap, every down, on both sides of the ball isn’t gonna happen,” Sharpe said after reading what Hunter’s wife’s Instagram story read.

“Play him on the defensive side of the football and play him in [offensive] packages. That’s what they did today… He played nine snaps [on offense against the Texans] That’s all we said!” Sharpe continued.

“Hey, I understand that is your husband, and you’re supposed to ride for him. But if you’re gonna take what I said — and I appreciate you watching the show, that means more to me than anything… All I ever said was that he’s not playing every snap, on every down, on both sides of the ball. I believe he’s an every-down corner, and then you sprinkle him in packages,” he added.

It sounds like Sharpe doesn’t feel like this criticism was warranted, given what he has actually said about Hunter.
