Travis Hunter's teammate 'selfishly' desires him to play more offense

Lawrence Wants His New Toy: Travis Hunter on Offense

Trevor Lawrence just got himself a new toy in Jacksonville: Travis Hunter, the two-way star who made waves at Colorado.

A College Star Joins the NFL

Hunter, like Lawrence a First-Team All-American, was known for his dominant performances on both sides of the ball during his college career, even running for the Heisman Trophy in 2024. While Lawrence captured a national championship in 2018 with Clemson, Hunter’s electrifying dual-threat skills have Jaguars fans buzzing.

The Jacksonville team snagged Hunter with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, adding him to a roster that already boasts the former No. 1 overall pick from 2021: Lawrence himself.

Lawrence’s Wish List: More Touchdowns, Please

Despite Jacksonville easing Hunter into both positions, Lawrence has made his preference clear.

“Selfishly, yeah, I definitely want him on offense more,” Lawrence told reporters. "I told him, it's like: Do you want to come catch touchdowns or do you want to maybe break up a pass or two a game?”

Lawrence continued, “He’ll make plays no matter where he’s at, honestly, and of course as a quarterback I hope he plays more offense. But wherever he needs to play to make our team better, because he will make us better, is what's going to happen. So I’m all for whatever that is.”

A Balancing Act in Jacksonville

While the Jaguars have listed Hunter as a second-string cornerback on their first depth chart, reports indicate he is considered a starting wide receiver.

It seems Lawrence has already begun strategizing ways to unleash Hunter's offensive potential. For fans, this new dynamic pairing promises exciting possibilities for the upcoming season.
