Travis Hunter - English
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ highly anticipated rookie minicamp has given fans their first glimpse of first-round pick Travis Hunter in action. The No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft has spent the first few days working exclusively with the wide receivers, but that will soon change.
Head coach Liam Coen confirmed that Hunter’s transition to cornerback will begin next week, allowing him to showcase his versatility on both sides of the ball. “He’s been able to dive in and learn some of our three-deep coverages,” Coen said. “We thought it was best to limit him to one side of the ball initially, but next week he’ll start to roll on defense.”

Hunter, a standout at Colorado and the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner, has embraced the challenge of playing both offense and defense at the professional level. “You just gotta get used to it,” Hunter said. “It’s just a lot of different types of calls, but, other than that, the defense is pretty easy. You’ve just got to get used to the offense.”

The move that sets the franchise up
The Jaguars made a bold move to acquire Hunter, trading up to secure him with the second overall pick. His ability to contribute as both a wide receiver and cornerback makes him one of the most intriguing prospects in recent NFL history.
Fans have already shown their excitement, with nearly 2,000 supporters attending the open practice to watch Hunter in action. His presence on the field has generated significant buzz, and his transition to defense will be closely monitored as the Jaguars continue their offseason program.
With Hunter set to integrate into defensive drills next week, Jacksonville is eager to see how he adapts to the dual-role challenge. If his college career is any indication, Hunter’s impact on both sides of the ball could be a game-changer for the Jaguars in the upcoming season.

Nikola Jokić knows he needs to do a ‘better job’ if Nuggets want to get past Thunder
DENVER — For most of the past five years, Nikola Jokić has taken his game to such a high level that you are almost shocked when he actually misses a shot or makes a bad read offensively or doesn’t finish a play close to the basket. The mystique of his being almost universally thought of as the best player in the world involves his having no weakness offensively. Defensively? Sure, there are some flaws. But, offensively, he’s been the most complete player in basketball for years.AdvertisementThere have been small playoff defects. For instance, last year, Jokić’s 3-point shot abandoned him in the second round against the Minnesota Timberwolves. But he was still dominant at every other spot on the floor, so nobody thought much of his not shooting well from beyond the arc. There haven’t been all-out craters like what […]

Cardinals takeaways: Pitching, offense continue to surge as winning streak hits 8
WASHINGTON — Shortly after the St. Louis Cardinals wrapped up their commanding series sweep of the Washington Nationals, Nolan Arenado offered some thoughts that Cardinals fans could probably relate to.“We’re excited to come to the ballpark,” Arenado said. “First time in a couple years where it feels like we’re coming to the ballpark ready to win a ballgame instead of coming to the ballpark hoping for something good to happen. It’s a different vibe, for sure.”AdvertisementA different vibe indeed. With their 6-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Sunday afternoon, the Cardinals have now won eight consecutive games, tying the Los Angeles Dodgers for the longest winning streak in baseball this season. The Cardinals sit two games over .500 for the first time since the opening week of the season and are just one game back from the Chicago Cubs […]

Winnipeg Jets lament controversial Game 3 winner: ‘That is no goal’
When does a deflection turn into possession of a puck?Kyle Connor looked, wide-eyed. He didn’t know what to say. The Winnipeg Jets had just let a close Game 3 slip away and given the Dallas Stars a 2-1 lead in their series. But it was a vital question: the Stars’ game-winning goal in Game 3 depended on the answer.Connor didn’t have it. Neither did Morgan Barron, who deflected it to Jets head coach Scott Arniel. Arniel was unequivocal in his disagreement. The goal that won Game 3 never should have counted. But Alex Petrovic’s goal stood as the game-winner.“The rule states that if the puck gets kicked, if it hits a body or a stick of anybody else other than the goaltender, it counts as a goal. It hit our goaltender’s stick and went in the net. That is no […]
