Overview

• Eli Manning said on the ManningCast that Jaguars coach Liam Coen told him Travis Hunter “practiced zero with the offense” at Colorado and only worked on defense.
• Deion Sanders Jr. replied on X that Hunter practiced at wide receiver and defensive back equally, and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders called the claim “a lie,” detailing alternating offensive and defensive reps.
• Social-media clips from Colorado practices circulated showing Hunter taking offensive reps, and Robert Griffin III asserted Hunter trained on both sides, noting periods when he focused on receiver.
• Hunter delivered a 44-yard high-point grab and finished with three catches for 64 yards in Jacksonville’s 31-28 win over the Chiefs, drawing postgame praise from quarterback Trevor Lawrence as “a special player.”
• Early-season usage reflects Jacksonville’s two-way plan, with Hunter playing 60% of offensive snaps and 39% on defense through five games, according to Pro Football Reference.
