When the Jacksonville Jaguars traded up in April’s Draft to select Travis Hunter with the second overall pick, they weren’t just betting on any rookie. They were investing in a player who had just won the Heisman Trophy, with a rare set of credentials. The young star dominated as both a wide receiver and a cornerback—something almost unheard of in today’s NFL. But six weeks into his professional debut, the two-way phenom hasn’t yet delivered the fireworks many expected.

According to the sports outlet Marca, Travis Hunter has recorded just 20 receptions for 197 yards and no touchdowns. On defense, where many scouts projected him as a future elite corner, his snaps have been limited. Still, the rookie isn’t frustrated. He remains calm and focused. “I have to be patient. Let the game come to me,” Hunter told reporters, as cited by NBC’s ProFootballTalk. He also said the coaches are working on schemes to get him more involved, and that earning the team’s trust is his top priority.

Impact beyond the stat sheet

Jaguars head coach Liam Coen shares that perspective. He believes Travis Hunter’s impact goes beyond numbers and that his moment will come. “Part of our job is to make him the number one option more often,” Coen explained. He also emphasized that success will depend on timing and chemistry between the quarterback and the receiver. “We have to make sure we identify him, find him, and be in the right spot at the right time,” he added.

Despite modest stats, Travis Hunter has impressed the locker room with his maturity and work ethic. He continues to train on both sides of the ball, confident that his breakout moment is near. His versatility remains a powerful asset for Jacksonville, which is trying to build a more dynamic offense and a tougher defense.

Will the results come?

In the NFL, teams tend to chase quick results and rarely offer long leashes. But Travis Hunter finds himself in a somewhat privileged position. The Jaguars are betting on consistency and process with the young standout. His story is just beginning, and while the start has been quiet, his talent and mindset point toward a bright future.

Jacksonville knows it, and that’s why they’re sticking with him. Because once Travis Hunter finds his rhythm, stats won’t define him—his plays will.
