According to Cameron Wolfe, a national reporter for the NFL, Hunter will “major in offense and minor in defense” during the team’s rookie minicamp.

Wolfe adds that after speaking with a Jags coach, Hunter will eventually “double major in both offense and defense like he did at Colorado,” but that the process will begin with him focusing more on the offensive side of the ball.

“Travis Hunter will start off as a wide receiver first,” the reporter said. “He’s going to get most of his time at wide receiver, and then learn defensive back as the summer goes along.”

Coaches also told Wolfe that when they interviewed Hunter during the pre-draft process, it was clear that he was a “culture builder on and off the field.”

“That’s the element, the energy they’re going to want to see the first weekend of rookie minicamp,” Wolfe said.
