Star rookie Travis Hunter has quiet debut in Jaguars win

His stat line for the game saw him catch six passes on eight targets for 33 yards (5.5 yards per catch) and a long reception of 10 yards.

His six catches and eight targets ended up leading the team, but both Brenton Strange (59 yards on four catches) and Dyami Brown (53 yards on three catches) gained more yards.

There was one play where Hunter appeared to be open downfield for a potential big play, but Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence badly underthrew him. It was a big missed opportunity and could have significantly changed his stat line on offense. 

He recorded one tackle on defense. 

It's not the most impactful game by any stretch, but the fact that he was able to get into the game on both sides of the ball is still a pretty good sign that the Jaguars are going to give him an opportunity to try and play both ways. 

Travis Hunter's role will continue to evolve

Even though it was a mostly quiet day for Hunter on the stat sheet, it is important to know that he is still getting up to speed in the NFL at two different positions. Complicating that is the fact that he missed time in training camp (and two preseason games) due to injury. 

His role is going to continue to evolve as the Jaguars figure out how to balance his snaps at two different positions, but it is pretty clear so far that they do see him as more of a primary wide receiver than a cornerback.

They not only played him significantly more on offense, but they also tried to make him a key part of the passing game. It just did not click quite yet.
