- With Travis Hunter, do Jacksonville Jaguars have best WR duo in NFL? We rank all 32 teams
When the Jacksonville Jaguars traded up to the No. 2 spot in the 2025 NFL Draft to select Travis Hunter , they not only chose a Heisman Trophy winner who plays both offense and defense, they also put together one of the most dynamic wide receiver duos in the league.
Hunter could line up opposite Brian Thomas Jr., a 2024 Rookie of the Year candidate who set Jaguars rookie records for receptions (87), receiving yards (1,282) and touchdowns (10).

Throwing to them will be former No. 1 overall draft pick Trevor Lawrence , who will be coming off shoulder surgery on his non-throwing side.
Hunter collected 96 receptions for 1,258 yards and 15 TDs during his Heisman season at Colorado .

By comparison, Thomas Jr. had 68 receptions, 1,177 yards and 17 touchdowns during his final collegiate year at LSU in 2023.
When looking at the way-too-early depth charts of NFL teams, Hunter is one of four rookie receivers who would be considered a part of a team's top WR duo.
The other three are Tetairoa McMillan (Carolina), Matthew Golden ( Packers ) and Jack Bech ( Las Vegas ).
