The mother of Colorado Buffaloes football star Travis Hunter said<\/a> that while others called her pregnancy with Hunter a “mistake,” he has instead been her biggest blessing. Hunter’s mother, Ferrante Edmonds, made the remarks during an interview about her son’s recent Heisman Trophy win.<\/p>\n

After sharing how she worked to instill a ‘no-quit’ attitude in him throughout his youth, Harris told ESPN reporter Holly Rowe:<\/p>\n

I love the person that he is but I’m also grateful … because what they said was my biggest mistake turned out to be the biggest blessing. <\/em><\/p>\n

So that just goes to show you, you can make mistakes but that does not define who you are. And I’m so excited for him but I’m also so excited for all the people that’s behind him, all the people that look up to him and see that he is just, ‘You can do it. It doesn’t matter if you fall, get back up.’ <\/em><\/p>\n

You only fail when you stop and he didn’t. Now look at him.<\/em><\/p>\n
