Jaguars WR Travis Hunter has big plans
One thing working in Hunter's favor is his conditioning , according to espn.com.
"That's unbelievably rare," offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said. "I don't know that I've seen anything like it, with that level of conditioning before. Obviously, he's expected to do something that I have not seen another player do, that none of us have seen before. It is once again a testament to his work, his training in the heat in the summer, to be able to come out here and do this.

"It is hot. No joke. There are guys out here struggling to just do one. And he's doing multiple things, juggling different things mentally, physically. It's a testament to his work. The conditioning is definitely apparent."
Hunter seems to be taking it all in stride.
"They actually trust me," Hunter said. "They put a lot on my plate, but I just have to go out there and continue to attack the work that they give me."
Cornerback Jourdan Lewis said Hunter looks like it all fits for him.
"He's just so comfortable," Lewis said. "He's confident in what he does. He knows the spotlight's on him. He just goes out there and handles business."

And receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has noticed as well.
"Being able to go out there and execute the plays and knowing the ins and outs," Thomas said. "Just being in his playbook, learning the playbook, knowing what he has, not having to second-guess himself or think twice about what he has. That's probably the biggest thing."
