Travis Hunter to the Jaguars as No. 2 pick: A two-way star in the making

Article arrow_drop_down

With the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars made a bold move that turned heads across the football world, selecting Travis Hunter, a dynamic athlete who’s redefining what it means to be a modern football player. Known for his elite skills as both a lockdown cornerback and explosive wide receiver, Hunter now becomes the centerpiece of a plan that’s as unconventional as his game.

While his natural instincts on defense make him a top-tier corner, the Jaguars plan to ease him into the league with significant reps at wide receiver. It’s a strategic approach that will give Hunter room to adjust to the NFL pace while still allowing him to showcase his versatility.

Travis Hunter now with Jacksonville shows off unique dance moves on stage during NFL DraftTikTok

Offense first, but defense in his DNA

According to team sources, the initial plan is to feature Hunter heavily in the offense, using his speed, route running, and elite ball skills to stretch defenses and create mismatches. But this isn’t a position switch, it’s an expansion. The Jacksonville Jaguars fully intend to rotate him in on defense, where he’s already proven to be one of the most instinctive and physically gifted DBs of his generation.

“He’s a unicorn,” said a team insider. “Why limit a guy who can change the game in two different phases?”

The strategy also protects Hunter from burnout, ensuring his transition into the league isn’t overloaded while keeping both sides of his game sharp.

A historic pick with high expectations

Becoming the No. 2 overall pick brings massive expectations, and Hunter is no stranger to pressure. From being the No. 1 high school recruit in the country to making headlines with his transfer to Colorado, he’s always performed under the spotlight. Now, the lights get even brighter.

Jacksonvilles gamble on a true two-way player hasn’t been seen at this level since the days of Deion Sanders, Hunter’s mentor and former coach. And with the Jaguars building an identity rooted in speed, unpredictability, and playmaking, Hunter fits right

The question now isn’t whether Travis Hunter will be a star. It’s which side of the ball he’ll conquer first.
