Just before he was about to hear his name called at the NFL Draft in Green Bay, Travis Hunter’s fiancée gifted the future football star a watch to wear to the ceremony.
In a video posted to the Instagram story of Hellion ‘Boog’ Knight, the head of operations for Young Money APAA (the agency Hunter is signed to), Hunter’s fiancée Leanna Lenee is seen walking into his room while holding a green watch box behind her.
The video, which features the Boosie Badazz song ‘Rolex Baby’, shows Lenee in a black t-shirt surprising the football star with a watch.
It appears that the cornerback/wide receiver prospect received a Rolex Day-Date (Reference No. 228235).
The beautiful timepiece appears to have a brown dial inlaid with diamonds in a rose gold case that features a fluted bezel. It’s completed by being set on a rose gold oyster bracelet.
While the watch in a ‘plain jane’ style runs more than $40,000 the additional diamonds raise the price up to just north of $50,000, according to the Rolex website.

Later in the evening, Lenee and Hunter hit the red carpet before the Draft – with Hunter sporting a bright pink suit for the occasion.
It’s been a rocky season for Lenee and Hunter’s relationship as the public have cast doubts on Lenee’s motives for dating the star.
This forced Lenee to defend herself in a lengthy eight-minute video posted after Hunter won the Heisman Trophy.
As Hunter was announced as the winner of the prestigious award, Lenee initially remained sitting while Hunter’s mother and Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders stood up.
She briefly stood and gave Hunter a hug after Sanders appeared to tap her, but promptly sat back down as Hunter continued embracing his group.
Fans took issue with what they perceived to be a slight, sparking horrific backlash on social media.
It’s one of many perceived slights Lenee had to address. Others included a tense moment after a game against Oklahoma State and some comments she made as Hunter was taking pH๏τos with female fans during a pre-Heisman pH๏τo shoot.
On a Twitch stream after the ceremony, Hunter revealed that Lenee had cried herself to sleep as she continued to be pelted with criticism.
According to the Rolex website, the diamond dial on the watch bumps the price to over $50K

‘She’s still sleeping, she’s slumped,’ the Heisman winner shared on a Twitch stream. ‘You know when you’re hurt but you just cry yourself to sleep and you just be gone? She drunk [sic], like, an OD amount tonight for no reason.’
Hunter told people to stop targeting her, specifically calling out ‘clickbait’ pages, social media accounts, and websites.
‘Clickbait pages stop, y’all better stop I’m telling y’all. Something bad is gonna happen to y’all [if you] keep doing that. Y’all better stop that. I ain’t playing,’ he said.
‘Y’all hate on me then you go hate on my girl,’ the two-way star continued. ‘I feel the same thing that she feels. We’re inseparable. We’re with each other. If she’s hurting, I’m hurting.’
Hunter and Lenee have been dating for five years, according to the football star. They are set to be married next year.
