Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence Praises Rookie Travis Hunter After First OTA Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has expressed strong enthusiasm for rookie wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter following their first joint practice during OTAs. Lawrence praised Hunter's relentless energy and explosiveness, noting his ability to run all day and his impressive ball skills, especially his agility in and out of cuts. Hunter, the No. 2 overall pick, is expected to contribute on both offense and defense, fulfilling his and the team's desire for him to play as a two-way star. Lawrence, who is recovering well from shoulder surgery and refining his footwork, sees Hunter as a valuable asset to help improve the Jaguars' offense after a challenging 2024 season. The potential dynamic duo of Hunter and wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. could significantly bolster Jacksonville's passing game. The Jaguars hope Hunter's versatility and Lawrence's improving health will aid their playoff aspirations.
