"I turned and asked him, 'Who am I sitting next to?' I looked at his Jaguars pants, smiled, and asked, 'Are you an athlete?'"
"He smiled and said, 'I'm Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags.'"

About 30 minutes before kickoff, Travis Hunter reunited with Sandy Hawkins Combs, the United Airlines passenger who had sat beside him on a flight after the draft. Combs initially did not know Hunter's identity and asked, 'Who am I sitting next to?' after noticing his Jaguars pants and asking if he was an athlete. Hunter replied, 'I'm Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags.' Combs later told her sons she wanted a Hunter jersey and wore it to Monday Night Football. Hunter finished with three receptions for 64 yards, including a 44-yard acrobatic catch from Trevor Lawrence, and the Jaguars won 31-28.
