Hunter Named Jaguars' Breakout Candidate

Travis Hunter, the Jaguars' $46 million two-way player, has been named a prime breakout candidate for the 2026-27 season after his rookie campaign was cut short by injury.

Despite a disappointing rookie season that ended after seven games due to a knee injury, the 22-year-old Hunter remains one of the NFL's most intriguing players. He became the first player in Pro Football Focus history to record the highest-graded rookie in a single week. amunra-online.pl

With Hunter expected to be fully recovered by training camp, Fox Sports' Greg Auman believes he'll focus primarily on cornerback this season, following the Jaguars' decision to let Greg Newsome leave in free agency without drafting a replacement corner. His offensive role might be limited with Jakobi Meyers now in the fold, but Hunter's potential to shine as a defensive playmaker makes him a breakout candidate to watch.
