Jaguars To Elevate Travis Hunter’s Offensive Role, Making Him Primary Read in London

Coach Liam Coen says the plan is to scheme the rookie open to unlock more downfield plays.

Overview

  • Coen said the staff will put Hunter earlier in Trevor Lawrence’s progressions and design more plays with him as the No. 1 option starting in Week 7 at Wembley.
  • Through six games, Hunter has 20 receptions on 31 targets for 197 yards, with a low average depth of target near 7.5 yards but a team-leading 105 yards after the catch.
  • Jacksonville’s shift is influenced by Brian Thomas Jr.’s drops and the absence of tight end Brenton Strange on injured reserve, narrowing reliable pass-catching options.
  • Hunter remains a two-way contributor, logging roughly 63% of offensive snaps and about 39% on defense as the team continues managed workload planning.
  • Following the Tyson Campbell trade, his cornerback usage has diversified, including more right-side snaps and reported metrics such as an 84.2 passer rating allowed and about 0.84 yards per coverage snap.
