Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter has some questions about recent reports about his planned role for 2026.

NFL Network recently reported that the Jaguars intend to use Hunter as a full-time cornerback and part-time receiver in 2026. On Sunday, Hunter responded by seemingly calling that report into question on X.

“Now who told you this?” Hunter wrote.

Hunter has always been adamant that he wants to play on both sides of the ball in the NFL. Most believe, however, that managing that sort of workload would be unrealistic and that Hunter will eventually have to prioritize one position over the other. Those sentiments only grew stronger when his rookie season was cut short by injury, with the Jaguars stating they intended to assess his usage.

Hunter, 22, played in seven games last season before going down for the season. He caught 28 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown on offense, and had 15 total tackles on defense. Notably, he played 324 snaps on offense last season compared to just 162 on defense.
