Jaguars’ Two‑Way Plan for Travis Hunter Draws Fire After Limited Offensive Use

Limited offensive snaps followed by a costly Week 2 pass‑interference call have prompted sharp public criticism of how the Jaguars are deploying their No. 2 overall pick.

Overview

  • Through two games Hunter has been used mainly at cornerback, logging roughly 58–60% of Jacksonville’s defensive snaps and about 11 total offensive snaps.
  • In Sunday’s Week 2 loss to Denver Hunter was flagged for a 22‑yard defensive pass‑interference on the Broncos’ final drive that set up the go‑ahead touchdown.
  • Head coach Liam Coen says the team is running a preplanned, drive‑by‑drive cornerback rotation that limits guaranteed offensive opportunities for Hunter.
  • Public criticism has intensified, including a social‑media post from Hunter’s wife and sharp commentary from analysts who say the Jaguars are not using the two‑way upside they traded up to acquire.
  • The snap pattern raises pressure on Jacksonville to show a clearer plan for converting its costly No. 2 overall investment into on‑field value and could force role changes if limited offensive use continues.
