Jacksonville jaguars could be about to have a double -meaning star in Travis Hunter. Before the 2025 NFL season, the question surrounding Hunter is whether or not they will be recruited to play the offensive and the defense.
In defense, the veteran of the Rusher Pass Josh Hines-Allin can play alongside Hunter, which would be in secondary if Jacksonville gives the product of the University of Colorado the green light to become a double-way star.

Sunday, The 28 -year -old spoke with 1010 XL And was asked about his first impression of Hunter before the first pre-season game of the Jaguars on August 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I mean, I think he takes it well so far,” said Hines-Allen. “I think there is still a lot of progress that must be made. But at the end of the day, guy, he is a baller. You put the ball in his hand, or if he has the opportunity to go get the ball, he will play you. And when you have a guy like that on the field at any time, that makes you better to succeed.”

Friday, Jacksonville organized a scrum at the Everbank stadium, allowing Hunter to align with the wide receiver and the cornerback in a simulated game. He finished with three catches through 17 offensive snaps and added 21 shots on the defense, that the Jaguars head coach Liam Coen qualified great success.

“I thought it was great,” said Coen (H / T Michael Dirocco d’Espn). “We did him the job we wanted to get with him in attack very early and then we were able to put him into defense and make him enough representatives. This is what we hoped to do tonight in terms of simply doing it on both sides of the ball, quality work.
“I know he [didn’t] have a lot [action at cornerback] Because the [first-team] D-Line rushed, so it was a bit difficult to see. I thought when he had the ball in his hands [on offense] And he operated, he operated on a high level. »»
The melee game seems to have given Hunter the hope that he can be a double -meaning player for the jaguars. Consequently, Coen will have a few days to determine if he wants to test the ability of 22 years in the pre-season match against the Steelers to determine whether to carry out this experience or pull the cap to allow Hunter to focus on being a receiver.
