Leanna Lenee made the most of Sunday’s FIFA World Cup final, even if the result didn’t go the way she wanted. The wife of Jacksonville Jaguars star Travis Hunter posted a set of photos from MetLife Stadium after Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time, and she spent the day backing Argentina in the team’s jersey while posing around the stadium with Hunter and other fans.
Her caption is the part that really lit up the comments section: “Showing my husband what real football is!!” she wrote.
That playful jab at Hunter’s profession immediately fed the familiar soccer-versus-football debate online. Hunter didn’t bite back.
Instead, he responded in the comments with a love-struck emoji and the line, “Messi still the goat🐐,” making it clear he was in on the joke.
The photos showed Lenee smiling in the stands and posing with Hunter before the match, with Baby Hunter also along for the ride. The couple has been open about sharing pieces of their life on social media, and they previously surprised fans by announcing the birth of their first child nearly a year ago.
On the field, Spain finished the job in extra time when Ferran Torres scored the winner in the 106th minute. The game stayed scoreless through regulation before Torres finally broke through, and Spain’s run also included a convincing semifinal win over France. Hunter, meanwhile, is preparing for his second season in the pros after his rookie year was cut short by injury.

Why Jaguars Trust Nick Mullens As Trevor Lawrences Veteran Backup
Nick Mullens has spent much of his NFL life in the role every team hopes it never has to use, but the Jaguars have reason to feel comfortable with him as Trevor Lawrences backup. Mullens arrived in Jacksonville with a resume built on production and persistence, first making his name at Southern Mississippi, where he rewrote Brett Favres school passing marks, then entering the league as an undrafted free agent with the 49ers in 2017.
Since then, Mullens has carved out the kind of career that makes coaches trust him in a pinch: mostly a backup, but with enough starting experience to know how to handle the week-to-week grind when injuries force a team to adjust. For Jacksonville, that matters because the backup quarterback spot is not just about filling snaps, it is about preserving stability behind Lawrence if the depth chart ever gets tested. [Read more 🡒]
Jaguars Suddenly Have A Real Question About Their Breakout Left Tackle
Cole Van Lanen went from useful depth piece to one of the more interesting names on the Jaguars offensive line in 2025, when he appeared in 16 games and made five starts at left tackle without allowing a sack. The late-season surge was enough for Jacksonville to hand him a contract extension in early January, a clear sign the team believes his rise was no fluke and that his versatility across the line gives the front office another option to lean on.
Now the bigger question is how that momentum carries into 2026. Van Lanen is expected to compete for the starting left tackle job once he is back to full strength, and the Jaguars have at least one other familiar name in the mix, which makes this more than a simple follow-up story about a breakout reserve. For a team trying to settle its protection plan, the next step for Van Lanen could shape one of the most important spots on the roster. [Read more 🡒]
