Key Points:
- The Jaguars acquired Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall in last year’s draft through a trade with the Browns, but Hunter’s rookie season was limited due to a knee injury and modest on-field production.
- Hunter caught 28 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown on offense, while contributing 15 tackles and other defensive stats in seven games before his injury.
- Jaguars head coach Liam Coen indicated a more flexible offensive role for Hunter this season, emphasizing getting him involved in various ways without forcing plays specifically for him.
- Coen expressed confidence in Hunter’s abilities and noted the focus remains on winning games rather than strictly targeting Hunter in the offense.
- The Jaguars and Browns will open their season against each other on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
