Jaguars Weigh Two-Way Role for Travis Hunter

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is being prepared for a rare dual role as both wide receiver and cornerback, drawing comparisons to former Jaguars star Jalen Ramsey. The team is emphasizing offensive reps in the offseason to develop Hunter, though officials note his natural comfort is at cornerback and plan to adjust his usage based on game needs. General Manager James Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen remain optimistic about Hunter's stamina and potential, while cautioning against overuse and prioritizing his health. Experts like Cam Jordan and Louis Riddick have expressed skepticism about the sustainability of a two-way role in the NFL, citing its physical and mental demands. Despite these concerns, the Jaguars and Hunter are confident in his ability to meet expectations as a two-way rookie. The team's flexible approach will be closely watched as they attempt to maximize Hunter’s unique talents.
