Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter starred on both sides of the ball in high school and in college. Through four games at the NFL level, his two-way efforts have been a bit of a mixed bag.
Hunter, the Jaguars' No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has played more than 100 snaps at both wide receiver and cornerback so far this season. He's graded out better as a cornerback than as a receiver through four weeks, per Pro Football Focus.
Jacksonville originally planned to have the reigning Heisman Trophy winner be more of a contributor on offense as a wide receiver, but injuries to other Jaguars cornerbacks forced Hunter into a bigger role on defense in Weeks 2 and 3.
Week 4's game was a return to mostly playing on the offensive side, and he set a season- and career-high mark with 42 receiving yards against the San Francisco 49ers.
In Week 5, Hunter and the Jaguars will host the Kansas City Chiefs in a "Monday Night Football" clash. Fans will have to wait for Monday to see how much the Jaguars utilize Hunter on each side of the ball against the reigning AFC champs.
