Jaguars' Travis Hunter Reveals Unseen Challenge of Playing Both Sides
Two-way star Travis Hunter is a rare player in the NFL, contributing on both sides of the ball for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Travis Hunter, a versatile player for the Jacksonville Jaguars, recently shared the challenges of playing both sides of the ball in an interview with Ja Marr Chase on the Chasing No 1 podcast. As a cornerback and wide receiver, Hunter has contributed significantly in the first six games of his second season with the team.
Hunter's preparation process involves meeting with the offense and defense separately, devoting about 45 minutes to an hour to each session. He explained, "Before the team meeting, like 45 minutes, I'll just go meet with the offense. Before that team meeting, 45 minutes to an hour, I'll go through, walk through a couple plays, meet with them, watch some film, and then we'll go to team meeting and then I'll go to defense for that period."
Hunter admitted that juggling both roles is not easy, stating, "You got to know everybody's route and all the concepts, bro. That be tricking me out. But you got to know all the concepts, all the formations."
