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.
