When the Jacksonville Jaguars made the bold move to trade up in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Colorado standout Travis Hunter, it certainly sent a message. After years of being a middling team in the NFL, they were going all out for a player who has the potential to be a once-in-a-lifetime superstar. The fact that he would be yet another weapon for beleaguered, franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence was a bonus.
Thus far, everything seems to be falling in place. Hunter has been impressive during the pre-season, both on the field and off. He wowed the coaching staff during OTAs and was pleasant and entertaining with the fans and media.
