Travis Hunter is expected to play both sides of the ball next season for the Jacksonville Jaguars . General manager James Gladstone said so himself during exit meetings and press conferences for the Jaguars.

“We still expect him to play on both sides of the ball,” Gladstone said. Hunter played in only seven games this season.

Hunter was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Colorado. He won the Heisman Trophy playing wide receiver and cornerback, excelling at both.

However, his rookie season didn’t quite pan out as expected due to injury. Being limited to less than half of a season put Hunter in the rearview mirror as Jacksonville won 12 games and won the AFC South.

Hunter finished the year with 28 catches for 298 yards, one touchdowns and 10.6 yards per catch. On defense, he had 15 tackles and three pass deflections.
