Former ESPN host criticizes NFL star Travis Hunter for surprise baptism before Sunday game

Sports commentator Skip Bayless said Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Travis Hunter is checking out from football.

Bayless, a former ESPN2 and FS1 commentator, posted a 28-minute video on Tuesday in which he claimed that Hunter should not have taken time out of his day last Sunday to get baptized.

Hunter was baptized on Sunday before a home game against the Seattle Seahawks, completing the ceremony at Celebration Church, a non-denominational congregation in Jacksonville.

In a post on X, Bayless criticized Hunter, stating, "There is no way Travis Hunter should've chosen to be baptized on the morning of a game. He is losing interest. He is mentally checking out on the Jags."
