Travis Hunter’s Dual Threat Under Fire | Jacksonville Jaguars News

Travis Hunter’s dual-threat NFL experiment is heating up — and sparking debate. At just 21, the Jaguars’ star is splitting snaps between wide receiver and cornerback, a rare feat drawing criticism from veterans like Cam Newton, who question his long-term viability. But Hunter, who won the Heisman in college and thrived on both sides last season before a knee injury cut his year short, sees the feedback as tough love — especially since he trained under Newton and considers him family. Despite concerns from analysts like Deion Sanders that playing both ways is too taxing, the Jaguars are doubling down, increasing Hunter’s defensive reps in practice while still planning for offensive contributions. The team’s commitment to his unique role makes his ability to handle the physical and mental demands this season one of the league’s most compelling storylines.
