I did what they asked me to do. I know I can do more and I know I can do better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter, the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner from Colorado, made six receptions for 33 yards in his first NFL game. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was great. Had some big catches, obviously,\u201d quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. \u201cHe\u2019s a weapon for us, and he\u2019s going to continue to get better and better. He\u2019s a matchup in space, great with the ball in his hands. Could have more out there. I felt like I could have gave him a few more opportunities with some of the ones I missed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter nearly had a touchdown, but Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn jumped in front of him and made a one-hand interception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he doesn\u2019t get up and make a great play like he did, yeah, I think that was a touchdown,\u201d Hunter said.<\/p>\n<p>The Jaguars expect Hunter\u2019s defensive plays to increase as the season goes on.<\/p>\n<p>He missed 10 days late in the preseason with an upper body injury, and the Jaguars installed some unique coverage schemes for the Panthers in those practices, coach Liam Coen said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it will only continue to evolve and go more,\u201d Coen said. \u201cI can only see it going and expanding from here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Hunter made his NFL debut Sunday, playing 44 of 63 offensive snaps and six on defense.
