How Much Will Travis Hunter Play Both Wide Receiver And Cornerback This Season? | 7/30/25

We uh were talking earlier before the show started about the nickname. You know, sometimes you’ll get a nickname. Some players give themselves a nickname. Travis Hunter is called the unicorn. Now, Christophs Porzingis was called the unicorn. We have different players, I think, who have been called the unicorn. And Travis Hunter was asked about the nickname. Travis, uh we got to come up with a nickname for you, okay? Cuz there’s nobody does what you do. What will it be? It’s your unicorn. It is the unicorn. Yes, sir. Mark that and get it out there and get some posters and stuff and that kind of thing. Yeah, I’m going to try. I’m going to try to see what I can do. I like it. I like the unicorn. I call you the machine, though, cuz you play all those plays. How many plays do you think you could play? You think you can play them all? Yeah, I definitely think I could play them all. If If I didn’t think I could play them all, I wouldn’t be trying to do it. All right. So, he’s been called the unicorn. I think he was called that in college and uh now in Jacksonville his rookie year. and uh words getting around a little bit uh deeper in NFL circles of being called the unicorn. Uh I don’t know how much he’s going to play on offense this year, but if you look at last season when he won the Heisman Trophy, he was part of almost 87% of the offensive plays and he was part of 83% of the defensive plays. If I’m going to look at what will be the percentages in the NFL, probably start out 8020, 80%, 20%. How do you use him? Can you bring him in as a decoy? Um, how much do you want to have him playing defense? Then do you wait till third down for offense? Now, he is young, so I’m guessing that he knows what he’s capable of doing. This is just a question of you have a new head coach in Liam Liam Cohen and how much do you want to use him? You need him. You definitely need him and you start to wonder how much can you use him. This is the you know rookies talk about hitting the wall in all sports where you go boy this is a long season and it is because you know the game is more demanding than college. Now college they’re playing 14 15 games if you include the bowl game. Now you have a 17g game schedule and maybe you go into the postseason, maybe you add a couple more games there, but they’ll they’ll talk about hitting the wall. And I think that would be the one thing that I would caution the Jags on is how can I keep him? I need him fresh and ready to go late in the season. We don’t need to do it to get attention here. We can build on this. Let’s see how well he plays. Let’s see how well he plays defensively and then we can bring him over offensively. I just I don’t want him splitting and I don’t want him being good at both. I would like for him to be great at one of them and then if he’s really good at the other one or good at the other one, you know that that’s going to be an unbelievable start to his career. I’m surprised there’s there hasn’t been that much fanfare and granted plays for Jacksonville, but Shador Sanders, the attention for Shadore dwarfs Travis Hunter. Cleveland passed on Travis Hunter.

  2. The NFLPA might have an issue with this. He's taking snaps from someone else if he's playing both ways. That means another player is making fewer plays and less money.

  5. What is he talking about hunter had the number jersey sale for the longest, espn is talking about him every other day. Sanders is talked about bc the browns aren’t smart enough to admit they made a mistake and now dragging out the inevitable of sanders starting

  7. Depends on the game, score and situation obviously but a slight more on offense. He will have on his plate as much as his stomach can hold as the chef ( Coach C ) see's fit.
