Jaguars’ Hunter will play both offense and defense: HC Liam Coen

Jacksonville Jaguars fans will not have to wait much longer to see Travis Hunter play for their favorite team.

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told reporters Thursday that Hunter will play snaps at both cornerback and wide receiver in Jacksonville’s preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.

Hunter was listed as a starting wide receiver on Jacksonville’s first unofficial depth chart alongside second-year receiver Brian Thomas Jr. and newcomer Dyami Brown. On defense, Hunter is listed as a second-string cornerback behind Tyson Campbell and Jourdan Lewis.

The No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft has been a hot topic since before he was drafted, thanks to his ability to play on both sides of the football. Hunter starred at both of his positions of wide receiver and cornerback during his time in college, and parlayed that success to Bednarik and Heisman Trophy wins as well as highly elevated draft stock.

During his final season at Colorado, Hunter caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns as a receiver. He also recorded 36 tackles, 11 pass defenses, four interceptions and a game-sealing forced fumble as a cornerback.

Based on his depth chart position and reports out of Jaguars training camp, it appears the team is preparing to give Hunter more opportunities on offense. But he’ll get his first chances playing on both sides of the ball as a pro on Saturday.
