Travis Hunter talks first Jaguars training camp, playing on both sides
Jacksonville Jaguars star rookie Travis Hunter meets with media, and discusses the team’s plan with him to play on both sides of the field.
- Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter participated in both offense and defense during the EverBank Stadium Scrimmage.
- Hunter had three receptions for 43 yards on offense and played 17 snaps.
- On defense, Hunter played 21 snaps, was targeted once, and allowed one reception.
Travis Hunter finally made his quick change during the same practice.
After playing offense four days and defense three days during training camp, the Jaguars‘ multi-talented first-round rookie did both on the same day during the team’s EverBank Stadium Scrimmage on Aug. 1.
Hunter made more of an impact on offense with three receptions from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, including one for a 21-yard gain. He also had what looked to be a TD pass on third-and-goal from the 5-yard line knocked down at the last second by linebacker Ventrell Miller.
Hunter didn’t have any stats on defense and yielded one catch on one target, a 16-yard gain by wide receiver Joshua Cephus from Nick Mullens when Hunter appeared to bite on a fake by Cephus.
But it was perhaps the major reason more than 11,000 fans came to the stadium and braved the torrid head: to see Hunter do his thing on both sides of the ball.
