Jaguars to Emphasize Defense for Travis Hunter’s Two-Way Debut

The rookie insists the two-way transition “is not hard at all” despite questions over snap distribution and career-long durability.

Overview

  • Head coach Liam Coen plans to give Hunter a heavier cornerback workload in Saturday’s preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers to refine his defensive role
  • Hunter says mastering two playbooks is the main challenge of playing both receiver and cornerback, not the physical toll
  • Jacksonville has implemented a precise snap-count system in camp to balance offensive and defensive reps and limit fatigue
  • Los Angeles Rams veteran Davante Adams doubts any player can sustain high-level performance on both sides without increasing injury risk and shortening their career
  • The Jaguars’ decision to trade up for Hunter underscores their organizational commitment to testing his two-way potential under careful workload management
