Leanna Lenee gifts Travis Hunter a Rolex before NFL Draft but fans think he paid for it himself

The 2025 NFL Draft was full of flashy entrances, headline-grabbing suits, and major trades but one of the most unforgettable moments came before a single name was called. Travis Hunter, the Colorado two-way phenom, was surprised with a luxury Rolex and bracelet by his fiancée, Leanna Lenee, and his reaction instantly became a fan favorite.


Just hours before the NFL world turned its attention to the big board, Hunter had a private, heartfelt moment that stole the spotlight. Leanna Lenee, his longtime girlfriend and now fiancée, gifted him a gorgeous Rolex watch along with a bracelet both wrapped in love and symbolism. Travis, known for his cool demeanor and elite play, was visibly emotional and overwhelmed. Cameras caught the moment, and the video quickly racked up thousands of likes and reposts on social media.
Leanna has kept a low profile in recent months. After facing online backlash in 2024 during Travis’ Heisman campaign, she pulled back from social media and public appearances. But on draft night, she returned with a bang and not for herself, but to show up for her man.
But fans weren’t exactly sold on the sweetness of the gesture. A large chunk of social media felt the Rolex and bracelet were likely bought with Travis’ own money and they didn’t hold back.




Travis and Leanna’s relationship has been in the public eye for a while. The two have reportedly been together since their high school days in Georgia and got engaged back in February 2024. Their bond has only strengthened despite the pressures of college football stardom and internet drama.

While exact details of the watch haven’t been confirmed, the model looks like a gold Rolex Day-Date with a champagne dial, a favorite among athletes and entertainers. Estimated value? Anywhere from $40,000 to $55,000, depending on the customization and diamond detailing.

Hunter didn’t have to wait long to hear his name. The Jacksonville Jaguars shocked the crowd by trading up with the Cleveland Browns to take Travis at No. 2 overall. And yes, the Rolex was on full display as he hugged Roger Goodell and posed for pictures. The moment felt full circle: from receiving the watch as a symbol of love to wearing it on stage as a first-round NFL pick.
