Travis Hunter flashes two-way potential at Jaguars training camp

Two-way superstar and former No. 2 overall pick Travis Hunter had an up-and-down rookie season in the NFL that ended with a knee injury after only seven games.

>Early in the Jaguars' training camp, Hunter is making a strong impression, demonstrating his potential as a two-way player. In Sunday's practice, Hunter got a ball thrown by Trevor Lawrence over the head of a defender before flipping around and jumping a crossing route for a nifty interception.

>The key for Hunter remains staying healthy so he can play both sides of the ball. He spent the offseason rehabbing, but also bulking up, adding ten pounds of muscle, allowing him to handle the NFL's physicality better.

>He currently slots in as the Jaguars' top outside cornerback, but on offense the depth chart is crowded. Parker Washington, Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. all need targets, as does Hunter. As of now, he seems to be competing with Thomas Jr. for the No. 3 wide receiver spot. Once preseason games start, it will be fascinating to see how often Hunter is on the field.
