“It seems impossible”: Jaguars’ $ 43,500,000 stars wonder about Travis Hunter’s Two-Way Brilliance while breaking Rookie’s workload

Travis Hunter is in the spotlight for the Jacksonville Jaguars because of his two -way capacity. The workload of the Rookie is also impressed by many, including his teammate, defensive end Arik Armstead.

Armstead, who signed a three -year contract of $ 43.5 million with the Jaguars in March 2024, appeared on Sunday on “First Things First” of FS1 and opened Hunter’s workload to play on attack and defense.

“Yes, it seems impossible until you’re close to Travis,” said Armstead, discussing athletes who played two positions (2:50). “I think one of the most impressive things about him is that he is there, he is doing it. It is hot in Jacksonville, as we sweat, and this guy does not break sweat. You look at him and he is smooth, he is very elastic.

“Everything that just comes for him, just a natural athlete, and if you look at playing both sides of football, his schedule is crazy. It is just like two days that he is in the attack, and then he comes along and then he comes to our defensive meetings and then he is a crazy touchdowns. Much for Jacksonville.”

The Jaguars initially started using Hunter as a wideout in the early stages of their OTAs before integrating him as a cornerback into their defensive playbook.

Hunter won the Heisman trophy in his last year in Colorado because of his versatility.
