Hunter’s Two-Way Dream Dims as Jaguars Move Him to Cornerback

TL;DR Summary
The Jaguars’ 2025 trade-up for Travis Hunter aimed to give them a rare two-way star at WR/CB, but Ian Rapoport reports the team will move him to full-time cornerback with limited pass-game use. The shift dampens the two-way hype, and with only a small CB sample size (plus a season-ending injury) concerns grow that Hunter may not justify the No. 2 pick or the trade cost if he can’t excel at corner. The article argues the Jaguars likely overpaid for a potential bust, though Jacksonville should remain strong in 2026 regardless of Hunter’s role, and suggests alternate, more traditional drafting paths.
