The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to make their lone prime-time appearance this season on Monday night, and all eyes should be on rookie Travis Hunter.
Jacksonville’s No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and the reigning Heisman Trophy winner has officially reached the 100-snap milestone at both of his positions: wide receiver and cornerback. Despite the Jaguars’ plans for Hunter to play a bigger role on offense his rookie season, injuries thrust him into taking more defensive snaps in Weeks 2 and 3.
So far, Hunter has had somewhat of a minimal impact on both sides of the ball: 13 catches for 118 yards and zero touchdowns on offense, and 11 tackles with one pass break-up on defense.
Hunter has only played four games at the pro level, and both he and quarterback Trevor Lawrence are still adapting to new head coach Liam Coen’s offensive scheme. There are still more than a dozen games left for Hunter to make a bigger mark as a rookie.
Here’s what to know about how the Jaguars’ unique, two-way player has fared through four weeks of action:
