Travis Hunter's Wife Has Advice For Women Attending NFL Draft
With the 2026 NFL Draft set to begin Thursday night, Travis Hunter's wife had an important message to deliver to the top prospects' wives and girlfriends.
Hunter's wife, Leanna Lenee, dealt with a ton of criticism during the 2024 Heisman Trophy ceremony. Fans didn't like that she was seated when he won the award. All the online backlash that she received lingered up until the 2025 NFL Draft.
In an effort to shut down all the negative noise, Hunter called out his wife's critics during a Twitch livestream.
"I know what I got. I know my girl. My girl's been with me for five years," Hunter said. "Y'all hate on me and then y'all go hate on my girl. I feel the same pain that she feel. If she hurting, of course I'm going to be hurting."
Thankfully, Hunter's wife hasn't dealt with a ton of heat over the past few months. That could change though in the coming hours.
Before the first round kicked off on Thursday night, Leanna shared some "advice" with the wives and girlfriends who'll attend the draft in Pittsburgh.
"Don't get in the camera because if you get in the camera too much, you want this to revolve around you. Also, don't avoid the cameras because then you don't care about your boyfriend or fiancé. Apparently, some people are going to tell you to sit up. Also, don't sit up too fast because you're making it about you. Don't hug him before his mom hugs him, because that's wrong," she sarcastically said in a video shared on social media.
"Don't cry, because if you do, you're dramatic. Don't wear heels, because your feet are going to start to hurt and your man will carry you. But if you don't wear heels, you're classless. Don't smile too much, because if you do, they're going to think you're just there for the money."
She's not the only famous WAG who chimed in.
Gia Duddy, the ex-girlfriend of Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis, also shared advice ahead of Thursday's event. She went viral in the green room during the 2023 NFL Draft.
"I feel like I've never really talked about the draft, and I don't really like talking about it, just because it just genuinely wasn't about me. So I just like never felt the need to speak on it, but I do wanna say is congratulations to all the hard-working men that are in this draft class," Duddy said. "Genuinely so excited for all of you, I know I have some friends in it this year, and for those who are attending, beware of your resting [expletive] face. Because the media loves media, and they will start a story that you're just a [expletive]. So from one RBF to another, good luck."
The NFL Draft will begin at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, ESPN and NFL Network.
