JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The debate over whether Travis Hunter will or should play on both sides of the ball reignited this spring: Are the Jacksonville Jaguars making a mistake having him do that? Should he just play cornerback? Or just receiver?
Hunter brushed aside the noise, just as he has since the Jaguars drafted him with the second pick in 2025.
"It didn't bother me," Hunter said Wednesday afternoon. "They've been doing that my whole career."
Hunter, who spoke during an appearance at a Jacksonville Planet Fitness to promote the gym's High School Summer Pass program, made his first public remarks since a postgame news conference following the Jaguars' 35-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams at London's Wembley Stadium on Oct. 19. A lot has happened since then: Hunter suffered a season-ending torn lateral collateral ligament in his right knee during an Oct. 30 practice, underwent surgery on Nov. 11, rehabbed during the rest of the season and began participating in the team's offseason program on a limited basis.
