Hunter, his coach and quarterback, Deion and Shedeur Sanders, were overjoyed when the 21-year-old won the trophy. Despite Hunter's star power, fans watched Lenee's reaction after Hunter's win.
The footage showed Lenee sitting, smiling, and clapping as Hunter's peers congratulated him while the Sanders and Hunter families celebrated. Deion appeared to nudge Lenee to stand up before briefly hugging the 21-year-old as Hunter was celebrated.
Hunter hugged Deion and Shedeur as Lenee quickly sat down. Fans on social media voiced their opinions, but Reese quickly responded, saying they don't know Hunter and Lenee's relationship.
"Leave that girl alone & let them be happy damn!" Many fans expressed concern about Hunter's relationship with Lenee after Reese posted on her X account. "You know she wrong for not standing up," a fan said. "But that's you boy I understand."
Another poster thought fans were worried about Hunter despite not knowing him. "I normally would agree Sister, but my Unc senses say that love is not genuine," the commenter said to Reese's X post.
Our concern is Nephew. We'd worry about you if you popped out with a suspect spouse. Most people don't mean to take him." A fan said: "Can't believe so many 'adults' are caught up, and invested in, a relationship they know NOTHING about."
