Jaguars forming 'fluid' plan for Travis Hunter's workload - ESPN

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars have an early plan for how they want to use Travis Hunter, but they're not locked into anything concrete.

The Jaguars are sure, however, what they want their plan to produce: a duplication of what Hunter was able to do at Colorado.

«We have to be fluid,» Jaguars first-year head coach Liam Coen said Friday at a news conference introducing Hunter. «We have it laid out. But we also have to have the ability to be agile and be fluid on specific days. If we don't feel like he got enough work on one side of the ball the previous day, then we need to be able to move forward and get him those reps the next day.

»Both Camp [defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile] and I and Grant [offensive coordinator Grant Udinski] are all on the same page about, 'Hey, how is this thing going to work? What do we want this to look like?' We want it to look like what it looked like at Colorado, and that would be pretty good for us."

Without question, because Hunter's 2024 season at Colorado was one of the most impressive in NCAA history. Hunter had 1,258 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns to go along with four interceptions on defense while averaging 113.9 snaps per game.

The Jaguars plan to start Hunter on offense and give him a package on defense, but they're not yet sure whether that means 45 snaps on each side of the ball, 75% on offense and 25% on defense, or any other breakdown.

It'll be a while before they can get there because it depends on how quickly Hunter can learn the offense and defense, his conditioning and stamina, and how quickly his body can rebound each week.

The team has had preliminary discussions with the athletic training staff, the equipment staff, and the nutritionists about
