Travis Hunter plays corner at minicamp. Jaguars’ Coen talks work ethic<\/p>\n

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen met with media Tuesday, June 10, noting Travis Hunter’s endurance and work ethic.<\/p>\n

The Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> made the first big move of the 2025 NFL Draft<\/a> by trading up in the first round from No. 5 overall to No. 2 overall<\/a> to select Heisman Trophy winner<\/a> Travis Hunter<\/a> of Colorado.<\/p>\n

The two-way star had one of the more impressive seasons in recent college football history with a standout year at both wide receiver and cornerback. The move came as the Jaguars<\/a> enter a new era with Liam Coen as head coach<\/a> and James Gladstone as general manager<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville paid a hefty price to move up three spots. The Jaguars sent four draft picks, including their first-rounder in 2026, to the Cleveland Browns<\/a> to move up and select Hunter. It could pay off as he may address a need on defense at cornerback and provide another young talent for franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence<\/a> to target on offense.<\/p>\n

But many are using the words “may” and “could” to describe Hunter’s role as a rookie. It’s unclear what his impact will be in 2025 with the Jaguars, but senior president of football and analytics Tony Khan elaborated on that in an episode of the “Rich Eisen Show.”<\/a><\/p>\n

“Liam [Coen] plans to involve Travis on both offense and defense,” Khan said. “In our offseason activities already, early in minicamp, and we’ve seen Travis work on both sides and he’s been very impressive.”<\/p>\n

Eisen pressed Khan for specifics, asking if 100 snaps per game – 50 on offense, 50 on defense – is realistic for Hunter.<\/p>\n

“I think there’s going to be different game flow,” Khan said. “Different games have different flows but I know he’s going to contribute and play a lot of snaps on both sides of the ball… 100 [snaps] is a lot, man.”<\/p>\n

Khan continuously reiterated that he believes in Coen’s plan for deploying Hunter.<\/p>\n

“I think Liam’s got a good plan and he’s been pretty open about it that he believes Travis can get involved as a top player on both sides of the ball,” Khan said.<\/p>\n

Rookies report for Jaguars training camp on July 19 ahead of the team’s preseason opener Aug. 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>. That could provide more clarity on Hunter’s role, as will preseason action.<\/p>\n

Hunter won’t be relied upon as the top target at wide receiver in Jacksonville like he was in college. That honor goes to 2024 first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr., who finished third in the NFL in receiving yards as a rookie.<\/p>\n

New defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile may have a more important role for Hunter on defense than what the Heisman Trophy winner will handle on offense. He may be relied upon to help a defense that allowed the most passing yards in the NFL in 2024.<\/p>\n
