Jaguars cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter was a part-time player on defense and a bit player on offense in Sunday's loss to the Broncos.
Hunter played 37 snaps (60 percent of the Jaguars' plays) on defense, six snaps (10 percent) on offense and one play on special teams. Although the Jaguars have talked up the possibility of Hunter being a full-time player on both sides of the ball, he's not even close to that. In fact, 17 different players on the Jaguars were on the field for more plays than Hunter's total of 44 snaps.
On defense, Hunter's highlights included four tackles, a pass breakup, and a 22-yard pass interference penalty. That penalty, and Jaguars coach Liam Coen's penalty for arguing the call, set up a Broncos touchdown. On offense, Hunter never had the ball go his way.
Hunter said he accepts his role on the team.
"That's the plan. Coaches tell me what I've got to do, I just follow their plan, follow their lead," Hunter said. "My job is to go out there and play, no matter when they put me out there. That's what I've got to do."
What Hunter is doing so far is not living up to expectations as the No. 2 overall pick in last year's draft.
