Patriots ball boy refused Hines-Allen the ball from Hunter’s first NFL pick

Travis Hunter made his first NFL interception in the Jaguars’ Week 3 win, but a Patriots ball boy refused to give the ball to Josh Hines-Allen after the celebration. Another staffer intervened, and the ball boy was absent from the sideline in the second half.

Hunter intercepted a second-quarter end-zone pass from Drake Maye. As Hines-Allen tried to take the ball, the ball boy held out an arm and said, “He pushed me.”
