- Travis Hunter Tracker: Jaguars rookie draws heavy workload, gets good as quick-change artist
Travis Hunter is getting good at changing jerseys at a second's notice.
The Jacksonville Jaguars' first-round, two-way rookie participated on both offense and defense for the second day in a row on Aug. 6 at the Miller Electric Center and the equipment staff has figured out how he can move from offense to defense and back in a hurry: Hunter comes out in a teal jersey (offense) but the team has a loose-fitting white jersey (defense) that he can get over his shoulder pads or off without a lot of effort.

Hunter also made a really quick change during one drill, in which wide receivers went against defensive backs one-on-one on the goal line. He had one offensive rep, diving for an overthrown ball by Trevor Lawrence , working against cornerback Jourdan Lewis , and had two defensive reps, covering Joshua Cephus like a blanket, with Cephus still able to catch the pass from Lawrence, then breaking up a pass to Dyami Brown .

Oddly enough, the day continued a pattern in which Hunter isn't targeted often on offense or thrown against on defense. He caught one pass and was not thrown on in man coverage on defense in team periods but offensive coordinator Grant Udinski said there's nothing to read into that from his end of the Hunter equation.
"Absolutely," he said when asked if the game is slowing down for Hunter. "And the progress is never going to be linear, but it's nice to see him stack those days and continue to progress mentally and physically with some of the technique stuff."

Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile also said he's pleased with Hunter's progress.
"He's done a really good job with [the workload] and I think Liam's [Head Coach Liam Coen ] has done a great job coordinating that," Campanile said on Aug. 3. "It's been demanding on him [Hunter], but he's responded in every way."
