After NFL legend Richard Sherman recently appeared to call Colorado star Travis Hunter “boring,” Sherman hopped on Hunter's podcast to discuss the remarks.

Sherman and Hunter laughed at every argument, and Sherman explained that he didn't say “boring,” but rather that Hunter would fit better as a receiver compared to cornerback in the NFL.

“First of all, people hear what they want to hear,” Sherman said (0:43 mark). “What I said was 'mixture.' …That's just because there are so many guys who play receiver. So many 4.3 (second 40-yard dash), 6'1”, athletic. You see (Alabama's Ryan Williams), you see all these little kids. There's a lot of talented young guys that can play receiver. But there are very few corners who can be athletic whose ball skills are wiped out. Corner is a whole different beast… Having someone with those ball skills is rarer than a receiver who can do that : You'll get lost in the crowd, but as a corner, everything you do stands out.

After initially feeling like Sherman was calling him boring, Hunter responded by wearing a T-shirt that said “boring” before Colorado's match against UCF on Saturday.

Sherman and most college football fans would probably agree that Hunter is anything but boring. The Buffaloes' star rushed for 561 yards and six touchdowns in just five games and was a strong defensive presence with 15 tackles, two interceptions, three deflected passes and one forced fumble.

He will soon have to make a decision whether to pursue an NFL career as a wide receiver or as a defensive back, similar to what Sherman had to do while attending college at Stanford.

Now that any conflicts between the two have been resolved, Hunter will likely seek advice from the future Hall of Famer.
