Jaguars' Travis Hunter Makes Two-Way NFL Preseason Debut vs Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is set to make a rare two-way NFL debut, playing both wide receiver and cornerback in the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Liam Coen confirmed that Hunter, along with starters like QB Trevor Lawrence, will see playing time, with the duration depending on the flow of the game. Hunter has been practicing on both offense and defense and was listed as a first-team wide receiver and second-team cornerback on the depth chart. Known for his dynamic play at both positions, Hunter had a standout college career and impressive stats from the previous season, including 96 receptions, 1,258 yards, and 15 touchdowns on offense, as well as 35 tackles and four interceptions on defense. The Jaguars traded up to draft Hunter, intending to utilize his unique versatility, and his preseason performance will be closely watched to determine his role in the regular season. Hunter's ability to contribute on both sides of the ball makes him a compelling candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
