Travis Hunter is a rare player in the NFL, contributing on both sides of the ball for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Through the first six games of his second campaign with the Jaguars, Hunter has two interceptions, six passes defended and 22 tackles as a starting cornerback. As a wide receiver on offense, the former No. 2 overall pick has six catches for 76 yards and one touchdown.
Hunter recently opened up about playing both sides of the ball when talking to Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase on his "Chasing No 1" podcast. Hunter talked about the unseen challenge of meeting with both the offense and defense to prepare for games. "Before the team meeting, like 45 minutes, I'll just go meet with the offense.
Before that team meeting, 45 minutes to an hour, I'll go through, walk through a couple plays, meet with them, watch some film, and then we'll go to team meeting and then I'll go to defense for that period," Hunter explained. "I make it seem easy, but it's not easy at all, bro," he continued. "You got to know everybody route and all the concepts, bro.
But you got to know all the concepts, all the formations." Hunter and the Jaguars had extra time to prepare for this coming Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, coming off their bye in Week 7. Sunday's game against the Colts will kick off at 1 p.m.
