Travis Hunter is working with the Jacksonville Jaguars, aiming to become the NFL's first regular two-way player since Chuck Bednarik in 1962. To manage complexity, he practices offense and defense on alternating days, allowing for better mental processing. Hunter needs to quickly adjust to changes in offensive plays and formations. Coach Liam Coen mentioned the approach helps keep Hunter unfazed, while the logistical challenge lies with the coaching staff in managing his dual training workload. The team aims to integrate both positions within practices eventually.
"I need to be able to process everything fast, quick," Hunter said Friday. "When I'm on the defensive side, if the offense changes their strength, I've got to know what I'm doing right away."
"It's probably harder -- I mentioned this before -- logistically for us as coaches to navigate it and make sure that we're making use of all his time."
Hunter has expressed that focusing on one side of the ball each day helps him avoid getting overloaded with information."
Coach Liam Coen acknowledged that Hunter has been great at handling the dual workload so far, managing to stay unfazed by the challenges."
