How Does Travis Hunter Impact the Jaguars' Depth Chart?

Hunter may see significant playing time at wide receiver based on where he was drafted. However, he must outshine a few established, quality receivers in training camp and preseason. His competition includes:

Gabe Davis: He missed seven games in 2024, greatly limiting his production. However, he has been a quality option before that, with over 500 receiving yards and six touchdowns in the previous four seasons.

Brian Thomas Jr.: Thomas Jr. burst onto the scene in 2024 with 87 receptions for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. He is the one receiver who could truly take defenses' attention away from Travis Hunter on any given play.

Meanwhile, the primary cornerbacks standing in Travis Hunter's way are:

Tyson Campbell: In his first four seasons, Campbell has six interceptions and 187 total tackles.

Montaric Brown: Brown had his first career interception last year in his third season. He has 109 career tackles and 12 passes defended.

With so much draft capital spent for the right to draft the Heisman Trophy winner, fans want to see Hunter on the field as much as possible. The question is, will the coaches think he is as valuable a two-way star as everyone else thinks? To this point, it looks like that will be the case. 

In the team's introductory press conference, new head coach Liam Coen said the team remains fluid:

"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."
