Overview

  • Coach Liam Coen has settled Hunter’s position hierarchy with primary responsibility at wide receiver before shifting to cornerback.
  • Senior president Tony Khan said Hunter could see up to 100 snaps per game across both positions, though total deployment will vary with game flow.
  • Hunter’s late-May OTA interception against Darius Lassiter provided an early demonstration of his defensive ball skills.
  • A newly debuted signature handshake with quarterback Trevor Lawrence underlines the growing rapport between the two.
  • Jacksonville traded four draft picks, including its 2026 first-rounder, and signed Hunter to a four-year, $46.6 million deal with a $30.5 million bonus to secure his dual-role talent.
