The recipient / half of the recruit corner of Jaguars, Travis Hunter, had his biggest match in attack and continued to be a part -time player in defense during the victory on Monday evening against the chiefs.
Hunter caught the three passes which were thrown to him, for a career summit of 64 yards. This included his biggest game of the season, taking 44 yards that helped set up a jaguars touch in the third quarter. He also had a grip of 12 yards which obtained a first descent in the second and-11, and his only take which did not succeed in a first descent, an eight yards in third and 13, installed the jaguars for a basket of 52 or may not have launched without this catch.
In attack, it was easily the biggest impact that the hunter had all season after having entered an average of 30 reception yards per game on Monday evening. Hunter had two first tests on Monday evening; He had chosen only three first tests in four games before Monday evening.
However, Hunter does not make the type of impact on the wide receiver that a team would expect a choice of global recovery n ° 2.. The following two wide receivers in the draft of the NFL 2025, Tetairoa McMillan of Caroline and Emeka Egbuka of Tampa Bay, are both on average more captures and more yards per game.
In defense, Hunter plays, but does not play like the full -time departure corner that a global choice n ° 2 should be. Hunter played 39% of the defensive shots of the Jaguars, which he had done the average during the first four games of the season.
Hunter is unique in that he is the only NFL player who currently plays important pictures both on attack and defense. Four other players played both in attack and defense this season, but they all play a minimal role on the side of the ball which is not their specialty. Hunter plays an important role both on the attack by the Jaguars and the Defense.
On the whole, however, his contributions through five games do not justify the huge price that the Jaguars paid for him, which included trade n ° 5 in total in the draft of the NFL 2025 and their choice of first round in the draft of the NFL 2026 to go to n ° 2 and select it. The jaguars have obtained more Hunter than usual on Monday evening, but they will need more so that its impact is worth it.
