As an incoming rookie, Jacksonville Jaguars’ second overall pick, Travis Hunter, has been using OTAs and minicamp as an opportunity to learn from the more experienced wide receivers on the depth chart.

“Just seeing how he go about his work,” Hunter said after Wednesday’s practice about Brian Thomas Jr. “He helped me out a lot. Like I said last time I came up here the last time I talked, just being able to take things from him, Dyami’s game, and Parker’s game is something that I can apply to my game and make me better.”

Last week, when Brian Thomas met with reporters, he mentioned that he and Hunter compete at everything they do. Hunter, as he said he would do when he first arrived in Jacksonville, has also been asking Thomas questions regularly to pick his brain.

Whether it be talking through routes, certain plays, or looks opposing defenses might throw at them, Thomas is helping out wherever he can.

“He’s very smooth,” Hunter said of Thomas. “No tendencies, and he got great hands.”

The combination of Hunter, Thomas, and Brown can be a real stressor for opposing defenses. For one, that’s a lot of speed to contend with, but also in Liam Coen’s offense, we are expecting to see a lot of movement from this group, in terms of where they are lining up, along with each player being able to attack different levels of the field.

This interchangeability, to a degree, can add a level of unpredictability to an offense, with defenses unable to get a beat on what’s coming just based on who is on the field or where players are lined up.

So far, the bulk of Hunter’s playing time has come on offense, which was the plan from the jump. But Hunter has been participating in defensive meetings and studying the playbook since he arrived in Jacksonville, with his workload at cornerback steadily increasing.

“It’s really no different,” Hunter said, “just gotta stay in the playbook and apply it to the field.”
