The Jacksonville Jaguars drafted cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter with the intent of playing him on both sides of the ball in the NFL. No NFL player has played full-time on offense and defense since the 1960s, but the Jaguars have a plan for how they intend to use and prepare him to play both ways.
Jaguars coach Liam Coen said after the NFL draft that their plan was for Hunter to primarily get started on offense while getting to learn and practice on the defensive side of the ball. Though Hunter was back practicing with the offense on Tuesday, he did see time to on defense during practice last Wednesday.
