The Jaguars justified trading up from No. 5 to No. 2 in the draft by explaining that, in Travis Hunter, they’d be getting two players in one.

So far, they’ve gotten one player split between both sides of the ball.

Through six games, Hunter has participated in 63 percent of the offensive snaps and 39 percent of the defensive snaps. That’s basically the same as playing 100 percent of the snaps on one side of the ball and making a cameo appearance on the other.

So why not just do that? Ideally, he’d be primarily a receiver and a limited-time defensive back. But even if it goes the other way, where he’s a full-time cornerback with spot duty at receiver, it would be far better for him to reach his full potential at one position than to be a guy who doesn’t make a high-level impact at either.
