Jaguars Coach Discusses Travis Hunter's Role on Offense
Travis Hunter has expressed a strong desire to be a full-time two-way player in the NFL, specifically at wide receiver and cornerback. The Jacksonville Jaguars selected him with the No. 2 pick after trading up, but his rookie season was marred by struggles and an injury that ended his campaign prematurely.
Now recovered, Hunter's role on the team remains a topic of discussion. Head coach Liam Coen confirmed that there will be specific offensive plays designed for Hunter, although he will not be a full-time starter at wide receiver as he had hoped. Coen noted that while Hunter is listed as a starting cornerback, the team wants to manage his transition back to play carefully.
Coen emphasized the importance of allowing Hunter to regain his form after a significant injury, suggesting that the team will take a gradual approach to his involvement on both sides of the ball.
