We got our first look at Jacksonville Jaguars first-round pick and two-way star Travis Hunter in his full uniform during the NFLPA’s Rookie Premiere event.
In total, there were 42 attendees at this year’s event, with 40 of them being either quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, or tight ends. The lone defenders at the event were defensive ends Abdul Carter and Mykel Williams, along with Hunter as a cornerback as well.
“The Premiere is one of the most valuable opportunities available to NFLPA partners as it’s the first point of contact to connect directly with professional football’s most promising and marketable young players – at a single unique event – to build content and relationships for the season and beyond,” per the NFLPA site.
As he did at Colorado, Hunter will play both receiver and cornerback for the Jaguars.
As James Gladstone and Liam Coen described after the draft, Hunter would be onboarded at the receiver position and then have cornerback responsibilities added to his plate as offseason programs progressed.
On offense, the combination of Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. can form a dynamic one-two punch, while Hunter brings added ball skills to the cornerback position for Jacksonville.
