Jaguars' Travis Hunter DJs for Teammates During Offseason Workouts
There’s been a lot of chatter about whether Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter is capable of sustaining as a two-way player in the NFL.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter relayed on April 13 that Hunter will “have his snaps at cornerback spike” next season, but the Jaguars will still use Hunter as a wide receiver at a lower usage rate.
Ian Rapoport had reported something similar, to which Hunter replied on X, “Now who told you this?”
By the looks of the Jaguars’ latest dispatch from offseason workouts, everybody is underestimating Hunter: He’s not just a two-way player. He’s a triple threat.
The Jaguars posted an Instagram video on Tuesday showing a smiling Hunter DJing for his teammates as they arrived at the Miller Electric Center adjacent to TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville. Hunter even hit the moonwalk.
Several other Jaguars players took a turn on the turntables, too. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence only offered a golf clap as he walked by, which is probably the appropriate response to blaring music at 7 a.m.

The Jaguars traded away three 2025 draft picks and their 2026 first-round pick to the Cleveland Browns in an effort to move up to No. 2 overall and draft Hunter, the reigning Heisman winner, in the 2025 NFL Draft last April.
Hunter was limited to seven games last season after suffering a noncontact knee injury at practice that required season-ending LCL repair surgery last November. Before that, Hunter played 324 snaps at wide receiver and 162 snaps at cornerback.
Despite a rocky rookie year, Hunter still possesses all the athletic promise to become a face of the franchise in the near future. It will be fascinating to see Hunter’s first fully healthy season for an ascending Jaguars team that just went 13-4 and won the AFC South in head coach Liam Coen’s first year.
While drafting Hunter last year created an explosion of hype around the Jaguars, the NFL community is much lower on Jacksonville’s 2026 draft class. The Athletic’s draft expert Dane Brugler ranked the Jaguars dead last in his 2026 NFL Draft postmortem published Monday. See the full list of players drafted by Jacksonville last weekend here.
