Jaguars Commit to Travis Hunter’s Two-Way Role

Coaches are fine-tuning his snap-count plan to manage his workload across two positions ahead of the preseason opener.

Overview

  • The Jaguars’ first unofficial depth chart lists Hunter as a starting wide receiver and a backup cornerback.
  • He has already split offensive and defensive snaps in training camp scrimmages, recording multiple receptions and defensive snaps in the same sessions.
  • Liam Coen says Hunter could win both Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year and the coaching staff has devised a detailed snap-count blueprint to support the experiment.
  • Staff have coordinated his daily practice rotations down to individual periods to accommodate two playbooks and preserve his conditioning.
  • Veterans including Davante Adams warn that the increased snap load may heighten injury risk and challenge Hunter’s long-term durability.
