The Jacksonville Jaguars have a good problem on their hands—but for fans dreaming of seeing Travis Hunter become the NFL's next two-way superstar, it might not be the news they were hoping for.

Hunter, who dazzled at Colorado playing both cornerback and wide receiver, entered the league with sky-high expectations. But according to ESPN's Ben Solak, the Jaguars' depth chart is making that dream a tough sell.

Solak argues that Hunter's future is brightest at cornerback. "He has the body type and movement skills of a cornerback—lean, sudden, amazing balance and body control through change of direction and contact," Solak writes. "The even better news: His technique at corner isn't great, which suggests there's a higher ceiling with some hard coaching. He could become one of the league's premier man coverage players."

That defensive focus would naturally limit his offensive snaps. And here's where the Jaguars' "good problem" comes in: their wide receiver room is stacked. Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington form one of the league's more reliable groups. Hunter wouldn't need to be more than a WR4 in this system.

"In a worse receiver room, I could understand the urgency," Solak notes. "But Thomas, Meyers and Washington are one of the league's better groups. They all fit nicely with one another (so long as Thomas emerges from his sophomore slump), and they can rotate when the Jaguars go to heavier packages. Washington has only one year left on his deal, and if Hunter is destined for a bigger role in 2027 when he departs, let that come in 2027. For now, protect Hunter as he returns to health and finishes his rookie development on the defense, where—again—he still has taken only 154 snaps."

It was always going to be a tall order for Hunter to replicate his college workload in the NFL. The grind of a 17-game season is a different beast. And with the Jaguars' current roster construction, the smart play might be to let him dominate on defense first, then slowly expand his role on offense when the time is right.

For fans hoping to see Hunter line up on both sides of the ball every week, patience will be key. The Jaguars have the luxury of depth—and that means the two-way dream may have to wait.
