Two-way rookieTravis Huntermay indeedplay both wide receiver and cornerbackin the NFL as a rookie this year. TheJacksonville Jaguarsreleased their first unofficial depth chart of the regular season on Tuesday, five days before their season-opener against theCarolina Panthers. Hunter is listed at both of his positions on the list, but he's only a starter at one of them. According to the unofficial depth chart, Hunter will start at wide receiver oppositeBrian Thomas Jr., last year's big rookie breakout for Jacksonville, andDyami Brown. On defense, Hunter is listed as a backup cornerback behind startersTyson CampbellandJourdan Lewis. During his lone preseason appearance against thePittsburgh Steelers, Hunter split his reps at wide receiver and cornerback, almost exactly. He played one series with theJaguars' starters at the beginning of the game, sat out from the first Steelers possession while the starting defenders played, then played two series with the second-string defense. In the end, Hunter played 10 snaps on offense and eight snaps on defense. He missed the Jaguars' next two games while nursing an upper-body injury. On Sunday afternoon, Hunter will make his long-awaited regular-season debut with Jacksonville's first-team offense. Jaguars fans will have to wait and see how and when their team decides to deploy Hunter on defense as well. TRAVIS HUNTER:Trevor Lawrence isn't worried about chemistry with rookie dynamo Brian Thomas Jr. Travis Hunter Dyami Brown Tim Patrick Parker Washington Hunter projects to be the Jaguars' No. 2 receiving target next to Thomas, the second-year receiver who led all rookie receivers with 1,282 yards last year. Brown is a newcomer free agent, Patrick joined the team about one week ago via trade, and Washington is back for his third year after Jacksonville selected him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Tyson Campbell Jourdan Lewis Jarrian Jones Travis Hunter Montaric Brown Christian Braswell Hunter is listed behind Lewis on the Jaguars' most recent unofficial depth chart. Both Campbell and Lewis graded out decently in pass coverage, per Pro Football Focus, with Lewis especially excelling in 2024. But both players are much weaker in run coverage situations. Could Hunter carve himself out a bigger role on defense if he proves to be a stout defender in all situations? It's possible, though the Jaguars are letting him begin the year as a backup cornerback as he starts on offense.
