Travis Hunter Joins Jaguars, Wearing Number 12

The Jacksonville Jaguars made a major move in the 2025 NFL Draft by trading up to the No. 2 overall pick to select Travis Hunter, the highly touted two-way star from Colorado, who will play both wide receiver and cornerback for the team. Hunter, who has worn No. 12 throughout his football career, will continue to sport the same number in Jacksonville, taking it from quarterback Nick Mullens. Jaguars’ leadership highlighted the unique value in drafting Hunter, noting they essentially get 'two for the price of one' under the rookie contract structure, though this could pose interesting contract negotiations in the future. Hunter, who excelled in college with 96 catches for 1,258 yards, 16 total touchdowns, and significant defensive stats, was reportedly considering Jacksonville as his destination even before the draft. Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Raiders selected Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 pick, following his standout season as the 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up. Both Hunter’s and Jeanty’s jerseys are now available for fans, with high demand and positive reviews expected.
