Travis Hunter - English
At Jaguars camp, the spotlight has landed squarely on rookie Travis Hunter and he’s making every moment count. Drafted second overall, Hunter entered the league with expectations sky-high.
Now, just a few weeks into camp, he’s already surpassing them. Veteran cornerback Tyson Campbell, a foundational piece of the Jaguars’ defense, was quick to acknowledge the challenge of lining up against the versatile rookie.
“It’s just how quick he is and how shifty he is,” Campbell said following practice. “He gets to his spot and Trevor Lawrence’s able to put it anywhere-and he’s athletic enough to reach out and go get it. His ball skills are definitely something that catches your eye.”
Hunter hasn’t just turned heads-he’s been rewriting the tempo of drills, especially in one-on-one matchups. Jaguars beat reporter John Shipley noted that Hunter has been “nearly impossible to cover,” even leaving experienced cornerbacks like Jourdan Lewis struggling to adjust.
The rookie’s combination of burst, footwork, and awareness has turned routine plays into highlight reels.
A new kind of NFL weapon is emerging in Jacksonville
Hunter’s reputation preceded him. At Colorado, he was a force on both sides of the ball-racking up 153 receptions, nearly 2,000 yards, and 20 touchdowns as a receiver, while also adding 66 tackles and 7 interceptions on defense.
He claimed the Heisman, Biletnikoff, and Bednarik Awards, becoming the first college football player to ever do so in one season.
But stats alone don’t tell the full story. What’s becoming clear in Jacksonville is how fluidly Hunter’s game transitions to the pro level. On offense, his ability to read coverages and attack soft spots is already making him one of Trevor Lawrence‘s favorite targets.
On defense, his experience as a wideout gives him an edge, as he knows what routes look like from both sides of the ball.
Offensive coordinator Liam Coen has made it clear that the Jaguars are prioritizing Hunter’s development at receiver to start. So far, Hunter has logged 72 snaps on offense and 67 on defense, according to internal reports.
That dual workload may seem ambitious for a rookie, but Hunter thrives in that space. Campbell put it best: “That’s what makes him so unique. He brings those ball skills from the offensive side and uses them in the same way on defense.”

2025 NFL defensive line rankings ahead of Week 7: Browns continue to lead the way
Steelers defensive line dominates the Browns: The Steelers’ pass-rush trio of Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt overwhelmed the Browns’ offensive line and rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel throughout the game. With Cleveland frequently leaving its tackles on islands, Watt posted his best outing of the season, earning an 87.1 overall grade. Highsmith made a strong return to action with an 84.6, but it was Herbig who stole the show with his 94.8 grade, the highest of any defensive player in the NFL for the week. The Broncos continue to pace the league in total pressures: Nik Bonitto leads the way with 25 pressures and also tops the NFL with eight sacks. Jonathan Cooper and Zach Allen aren’t far behind, with 21 and 20 pressures, respectively. The defensive line is the heart of any successful defense, tasked with both disrupting […]
Energie reaguje na zranění Redlicha, na hostování přichází posila z Kladna
„Kuba je pro trenérský štáb známý hráč. Pavel Patera ho trénoval (v Kladně a Mladé Boleslavi - pozn. aut.) a zapadá mu do systému a do role, pro kterou ho bereme. Jsme rádi, že jsme se domluvili s Kladnem v tomto časovém presu. Při počtu zraněných hráčů, které momentálně máme, to pro nás bylo rychlé a dostupné řešení v rámci hokejového trhu,“ říká sportovní ředitel Karlových Varů Jiří Kalous.Strnad v aktuální sezoně nastoupil za Rytíře k sedmi zápasů a nebodoval. Kladenský odchovanec v nejvyšší soutěži odehrál za Kladno, Spartu, Mladou Boleslav a České Budějovice celkem 373 utkání s bilancí 36 gólů a 38 asistencí.Dres Energie by měl poprvé obléknout už v pátek při domácím střetnutí s posledním Litvínovem.
