"Travis Hunter was one of the last players to walk into the Jacksonville Jaguars locker room after their 26-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. He wanted just a few more minutes to soak up the aftermath of his first NFL game. Hunter slapped hands with fans and signed autographs, celebrating not only just the Jaguars' sixth victory in their last 24 games and the first under new coach Liam Coen,"
"While Hunter didn't put up monster stats against the Panthers -- six catches for 33 yards; one tackle -- his two-way debut was notable because he played 44 snaps on offense and six on defense, making him just the second player in the last 10 years to play 30 offensive snaps and five defensive snaps in the same game. ( Scott Matlock did it last season at fullback and defensive line for the Los Angeles Chargers)."
Travis Hunter played both offense and defense in his first NFL game, catching six passes for 33 yards and recording one tackle in Jacksonville's 26-10 victory over Carolina. He logged 44 offensive snaps and six defensive snaps, becoming the second player in 10 years to record at least 30 offensive snaps and five defensive snaps in the same game. Hunter missed a preseason game and four camp practices with an upper-body injury, so his Week 1 snap distribution was planned. Coach Liam Coen said Hunter will have a larger defensive role as the season progresses.
