Jaguars' Two-Way Star Hunter Underused?
27 Sep
Summary
- Travis Hunter's playing time as receiver is minimal.
- Defensive snaps for Hunter are unexpectedly low.
- Deion Sanders questions Jaguars' strategy with Hunter.

Jacksonville Jaguars' strategy with two-way player Travis Hunter this season has drawn criticism for underutilizing his unique talents. Hunter, capable of excelling as both a cornerback and wide receiver, has seen drastically reduced playing time on both sides of the ball.
While a reduced role on offense was expected due to his recovery from a knee injury and the team's depth at receiver, his defensive snaps have also been surprisingly low. This limited usage has baffled many, including his former college coach, Deion Sanders.
Sanders, who coached Hunter at Jackson State, has voiced his perplexity, noting that Hunter thrived as a full-time player at both positions under his guidance. He expressed frustration at not being consulted on how best to utilize the player.
Despite the Jaguars' success in previous seasons without Hunter playing extensive snaps, there's a growing sentiment that maximizing his on-field presence is crucial for the team's future aspirations, including a potential Super Bowl run.
