“You got to believe his mental, the makeup, his general attitude towards life, and how he handles dealing with specific situations. I have a lot of belief in Travis as a person, as a competitor to come back better than ever,” says Head Coach Liam Coen, when announcing the rookie would be placed on IR back in October.

The Jacksonville Jaguars traded with the Cleveland Browns to go up to the number two pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Jaguars gave up their fifth overall pick, 2025 second-round pick, 2025 fourth-round pick, and the team’s 2026 first-round pick. Hunter finishes his rookie season with 28 catches for 298 yards, one touchdown, 15 total tackles, and three passes defended.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will face the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday at EverBank Stadium.
