The Jaguars traded up for the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, with the understanding that his goal is to play both offense and defense. Since joining the Jaguars, Hunter has gained the support and confidence of his teammates.

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner won’t have to wait long to get his first snaps on both sides of the ball at the pro level.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told reporters Thursday that rookie first-round pick Travis Hunter will see action at both wide receiver and cornerback during their preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night.
