  "account": "In Week 3, Jaguars cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter saw a significant increase in his defensive responsibilities. He logged 45 defensive snaps, a stark contrast to his 31 snaps in Week 2. Hunter's participation in the game was pivotal, as he secured his first career interception. On the offensive front, Hunter's role remained limited. He only appeared in five offensive plays in both Week 2 and Week 3, and was not targeted in either contest. The shift in Hunter's workload suggests the Jaguars are steering him towards becoming a full-time cornerback, while maintaining a limited role as a receiver. Hunter's desire to play both sides of the ball is clear, but he seems to be concerned about the diminished opportunities to touch the ball if he focuses solely on defense. Despite this, his long-term best interests might be served by committing to the defensive side of the ball, especially considering the Jaguars boast an impressive roster of receivers.",
