Travis Hunter Is Baptized Before Jaguars’ Game vs. Seahawks

The two-way rookie's off-field milestones have added to the spotlight on Jacksonville's No. 2 pick.

Overview

  • Videos posted on Instagram show the Jaguars rookie being submerged and smiling during a baptism Sunday morning in Jacksonville.
  • A collaborative post from local attendees said he asked to be baptized before the game, and Deion Sanders later reshared the video.
  • The ceremony took place hours before kickoff against Seattle, and the Jaguars subsequently lost 20-12 at EverBank Stadium.
  • Hunter continues to play on offense and defense after being drafted No. 2 overall and signing a fully guaranteed four-year, $46.65 million deal, according to ESPN.
  • Recent coverage also notes a dispute after coach Liam Cohen questioned his two-way practice workload at Colorado, a claim Sanders publicly rejected.
