Travis Hunter’s Rookie Deal With Jaguars Draws Comparison to Spider-Man Meme

The Colorado Buffaloes product played both wide receiver and cornerback during his high school and college days. Hunter will continue to keep the offensive and defensive responsibilities for the Jaguars in the NFL. 

The Jaguars got creative in flaunting their rookie’s rare two-way talent and made a unique announcement for Travis Hunter’s signing on Sunday. They first shared a post welcoming “wide receiver Travis Hunter,” followed shortly by another announcing “defensive back Travis Hunter.”

NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo drew a comparison between Hunter's signing announcement and a superhero meme during an episode of "The Insiders" show.

"The Jaguars announced the signing of Travis Hunter by tweeting out, 'We signed wide receiver Travis Hunter', and then a minute later saying, 'We signed defensive back Travis Hunter' with two different pictures of Hunter. Reminded me of the Spider-Man meme, where two Spider-Men are pointing at each other."

The Jaguars traded up to land Hunter as the 2nd overall pick in this year's draft, parting ways with their next year's first-round pick and additional draft capital in the process. They certainly have massive expectations from the 22-year-old. 

Hunter charted 96 passes for 1,258 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions last season with the Buffaloes, clinching the Heisman Trophy. He would aim to drop a similar or even better performance in the NFL while managing the toll of the dual role.
