Jaguars have Travis Hunter practicing mostly at cornerback
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Travis Hunter expressed a desire to play every snap on both offense and defense for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the team is focusing on him playing primarily as a cornerback.
- Recent practices show Hunter playing almost exclusively on defense, with minimal snaps at wide receiver, indicating the Jaguars plan to use him mainly in a defensive role during the regular season.
- On Monday, Hunter did not participate in any 11-on-11 offensive snaps, and during a joint practice with the Panthers, he played 28 defensive snaps compared to just two on offense.
- Hunter briefly attempted kicking duties during practice but was unsuccessful, suggesting the Jaguars do not consider him a viable option at kicker.
- Jaguars coach Liam Coen prefers Hunter to focus on defense during practice, emphasizing mental reps on that side of the ball rather than splitting time on offense.
