Liam Coen Revises Travis Hunter Practice Account as Deion Sanders Calls It False

The Jaguars coach told Pat McAfee that Hunter did practice some offense at Colorado, diverging from Eli Manning’s on-air claim that he practiced none.

Overview

  • Eli Manning said on the Manningcast that Liam Coen told him Travis Hunter practiced zero with the offense at Colorado and only practiced defense.
  • Coen later told the Pat McAfee Show that Hunter did practice on offense but primarily worked on defense, adding he often received signals for formations and routes.
  • Colorado coach Deion Sanders labeled the claim a lie and described practices where Hunter rotated reps between first-team offense and defense throughout sessions.
  • Deion Sanders Jr. and Robert Griffin III publicly disputed the zero-offense assertion and shared or cited practice footage, alongside season data showing heavy two-way usage including 96 catches for 1,258 yards and roughly 709 offensive and 713 defensive snaps in 2024.
  • Through five NFL games, Pro Football Reference shows Hunter playing 60% of Jacksonville’s offensive snaps and 39% on defense, with his profile boosted by a 44-yard catch against the Chiefs and praise from quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
