The rookie season is over for Jacksonville Jaguars two-way talent, Travis Hunter. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft had surgery to repair an LCL injury in his knee, with the team announcing Hunter will miss the rest of the season.
It was an interesting debut for Hunter, who plays both wide receiver and cornerback. He played 323 snaps on offense and another 162 on defense in his seven games before suffering the injury. Hunter's rookie campaign ends with 28 catches on 45 targets, netting 298 yards and a touchdown. On defense, Hunter finished with 15 tackles and three pass deflections. He was the Jaguars' highest-graded defensive player by PFF in his last game, the team's 35-7 loss to the Rams in Week 7, a game in which he also caught a touchdown pass.
That final glimpse of Hunter as a rookie is exactly what the Jaguars hoped for when drafting Colorado's two-way star and Heisman Trophy winner. His injury came in a non-contact drill in practice, but there were no real signs on the field of Hunter being physically incapable of making an impact on both offense and defense as a regular player.
