“Probably I, what I do in football, because it’s a lot on your body,” Hunter said. “Ohhtani, he’s a great player, but you have to do a lot in football.”
Johnson, who spent most of his professional career with Cincinnati BengalsHe spoke of Hunter who entered the hit cage.
“I have to get Travis Hunter into a hit cage,” said the former broader receiver while appearing on “Show Stephen A. Smith” after hearing Hunter’s Take. “As you are athletically gifted, I want to see you hit a 95 mph in a cage. Comparison is nowhere near.
“The two hardest in life are to hit a baseball and a long -term maintenance of a woman.”

Sharpe also did not agree with Hunter, concluding that the comparison between what Hunter is doing on the football field and what Okanana works on the baseball diamond “is nowhere near”.
“Hey Trav, until you get into that stroke cage, just a hit cage … just a machine. Tell them to turn it up to 90-95 miles an hour and let me see you hit it. Just fast, I’m not talking about a sliding. I’m not talking about a curve. I’m not talking about someone,” said Sharde. “
