Watch as Travis Hunter switches from playing offense to defense in the middle of the Jaguars’ scrimmage.
As was expected, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Travis Hunter played on both sides of the ball during the team’s scrimmage on Friday evening.
Up to this point, Hunter had played four practices at wide receiver, three at cornerback, and had nearly equal total snap counts between the two positions.
However, he hadn’t yet played on both offense and defense during the same practice–until Friday.
Ultimately, this will become the norm for Hunter. During the season, he is going to have to practice on both offense and defense routinely as he prepares for each game.
The Jaguars have a very detailed schedule for Hunter, but have remained fluid with it, adjusting on the fly as they see fit. As Liam Coen described earlier in the week, the scrimmage will play a role in determining what Hunter’s daily schedule looks like moving forward.
“We’ll be able to use that mock as an evaluation to see what do we need to do now,” Liam Coen said after Monday’s practice. “What did it look like in the scrimmage? Do we need to get him more on defense or hey, these other guys are producing and developing and we can keep with the schedule as is. It’ll be not a defining moment but an evaluation time for us.”
