Deion Sanders on Travis Hunter's usage: "I have no idea what's going on"

Back in May, Colorado coach Deion Sanders expressed disappointment that he hadn't heard from the Jaguars regarding how to coach, and how to deploy, cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders remains puzzled about cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter's workload in the Jaguars' NFL season. The coach admitted, "I have no idea what's going on" when it comes to Hunter's deployment. In the first two games, Hunter saw limited action, with only four snaps on offense and 29 on defense in Week 1, and six snaps on offense and 37 on defense in Week 2, without any targets in Jacksonville's passing game.

This lack of usage for a player who entered the league as a potential full-time two-way player has raised questions. Hunter has expressed his desire to play on both sides of the ball, stating, "I can't sit on the sideline. I don't want to sit there. I can't sit there and just watch football." However, the statistics suggest that being fully prepared to excel at both positions simultaneously is proving to be a challenge.

The Jaguars drafted Hunter with the intention of obtaining a two-way player, but the current situation leaves the team and Hunter's future role in doubt.
