It's safe to say former NFL star Pat McAfee is a big fan of Colorado Buffaloes star Travis Hunter.

McAfee made that abundantly clear as he heaped praise on the two-way star after the Buffaloes hyped him up amid his Heisman Trophy-worthy campaign.

On social media, the Buffaloes posted a video to further promote Hunter, whom they called a "generational talent." In the clip, Colorado's wide receiver-slash-cornerback can be heard saying he's the "best on the field" and that he feels "nobody" can beat him.

The video ended with the word "HEISMAN" but with the letters "I" and "S" changed to "1" and "2" to form Hunter's jersey number 12.

After seeing the post, McAfee couldn't help but react and share how he truly feels about the 21-year-old.

"Would be so cool to be Travis Hunter…" McAfee said. "What an absolute BEAST."

"Beast" could just be the perfect word to describe Travis Hunter. After all, he's having a phenomenal season as Colorado continues to make waves in college football.

The Buffaloes are 7-2 on the season, putting them at No. 17 in the latest College Football Playoff ranking. Sure enough, Hunter is a big reason for that, having recorded 69 receptions for 856 yards and nine touchdowns.

Hunter also has 21 tackles, two interceptions, seven passes defended and a forced fumble as a cornerback.

The Colorado football star remains the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman Trophy, so it's no surprise why Pat McAfee is really high on him.
