Jacksonville Jaguars' CB Jourdan Lewis shares early impressions of Travis Hunter

Jaguars' CB Jourdan Lewis recently shared what he's seen from Travis Hunter this offseason. On a recent appearance on CBS Sports HQ, Jacksonville Jaguars' cornerback Jourdan Lewis shared what it is about Travis Hunter that makes him a special player. "His confidence, Lewis said. "He believes in himself and his abilities, which are really immense. He's a really talented football player, and he can do it on both sides of the football. He's really cerebral; he knows how to sit in zones, he knows how to play zones, read the quarterback's eyes, and things like that. His ball skills are off the charts." Those ball skills that Lewis mentioned were on full display during Hunter's Heisman season at Colorado in 2024. As a cornerback, he was targeted just 41 times, but still managed to come away with four interceptions and seven pass breakups, according to PFF. Up to this point, we haven't seen a lot of Hunter on defense just yet. While he's been in meetings and learning that playbook, the majority of his practice time has come at wide receiver. As GM James Gladstone put it, the team views cornerback as Hunter's more natural position. However, in the near future, we are going to see more of Hunter at cornerback as the Jaguars continue to work towards having him play both sides of the ball during the same practice regularly. As defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile described after Thursday's practice, Liam Coen has put together a very detailed plan for Hunter. "He's a complete football player," Lewis added. "So it's just learning the nuances of the NFL, which he's going to pick up and he's picking up already. I've been really impressed with how poised he's been and how he fits in the scheme of things on the team."

Buccaneers training camp notebook, Day 2: All units play with confidence

The Bucs roster has reported to Tampa Bay, and as a result, they have started their journey into the 2025 season. It starts at home in Tampa Bay, but they hope it ends on the road in Santa Clara, where they have a chance to raise the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in five years. Todd Bowles and Jason Licht have returned, both with contract extensions. Liam Coen is no longer part of the coaching staff, having left to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars. In his place is Josh Grizzard, who has been promoted from passing game coordinator to offensive coordinator. All in all, the coaching staff remains essentially unchanged, just as the roster does, which means there is some continuity. The second day of training camp has wrapped, though, for the team, and there is a lot to break down. We did our best to decide what was worth sharing and discussing, as a lot happened, we narrowed it down to three key points. Of course, we rounded up some quick hitters as well for your enjoyment. Rookies standout on both sides of the ball The biggest rookies in the Bucs' 2025 NFL Draft class are wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and cornerback Benjamin Morrison. Both came into camps with questions, albeit different types, that they had to answer for both the coaches and fans during training camp. In two days, things are already looking up for the pair, and they may end up being the best one-two punch of the class, regardless of team. Emeka Egbuke stole the show with a nice catch in the back of the endzone, where he showcased body control and awareness. He is going to work his way very nicely into the good graces of Baker Mayfield while Chris Godwin Jr. is rehabbing his ankle injury. Look for him to get peppered with targets throughout camp and the preseason. On the other side of the ball, Benjamin Morrison finally made his debut with the Bucs after missing OTAs and minicamp due to his rehab from a hip injury. Questions around his hip caused him to fall down the NFL Draft, and he made it to the Bucs in round two. If he had been healthy, he would have been a top ten pick most likely. Now, healthy and playing for the Bucs, Morrison showcased himself in man and zone coverage assignments on Thursday and impressed during both. Charlie Heck has the full support of the offense Keeping your franchise quarterback safe is a team's most important priority. In the case of the Buccaneers, they will be without their franchise tackle, Tristan Wirfs, for an undetermined amount of time. In his place, the team has backup Charlie Heck, who signed with the team this offseason, set to start. Todd Bowles hinted at the Bucs perhaps adding to their tackle group during his media session today, but nothing seems imminent. They did have former Seahawks tackle George Fant in for a workout, but no deal was made at the time. For the time being, though, Baker Mayfield is behind his new blindside protector, telling the media, ". . .We trust Charlie [Heck]. He's here for a reason, so still trying to instill a faith in him that he's more than capable of doing his job at the left tackle spot. . ." Haason Reddick has backup on the team Haason Reddick arrived in Tampa Bay with a certain amount of baggage following him from his 2024 season with the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. He held out all offseason for a new contract and it led to him being traded and then playing like a shell of his former All-Pro self. Now, in Tampa Bay with a one-year prove-it deal signed, Reddick is ready to start over, and his teammates are taking notice. Baker Mayfield talked about the new Bucs edge rusher during his media session when he was asked how he was fitting in. Mayfield explained, "I think he fits right in as a guy. People wanted to put some labels on him for whatever happened in the past. He's extremely hungry, got a little chip on his shoulder. I think this building as a whole appreciates that. We understand what type of talent we are getting out of him. The veteran leadership he brings as well, just adds on to that." Getting the seal of approval from your team's veteran leader is always a help. During minicamp, when Reddick arrived, the former Temple Owl shared he was working with fellow edge Yaya Diaby, and they were working in tandem on edge moves and making each other better. It is early, but all signs are pointing to Reddick fitting right in with the pewter. Quick hitters

2025 NFL Odds: How Will Travis Hunter Perform As 2-Way Player?

Can Travis Hunter really play both sides of the ball in the NFL? Hunter, a wide receiver and cornerback in college, was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars after one year at Jackson State and two seasons at Colorado. And on Wednesday, Jags head coach Liam Cohen said that the team plans to have him practice at both positions. "You want to give him a couple days offense, a couple days defense, and then give him an opportunity to go flip-flop within the same practice and then that will kind of become the norm," Coen said. "Every moment, every minute that he is in the building, it is accounted for and trying to make sure that we maximize his time and our time so that we can ultimately get the best outcome." If Hunter were to play offense and defense, how would he perform? Let's check out the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 24. Travis Hunter to record 1000+ regular-season receiving yards: +230 (bet $10 to win $33 total) Travis Hunter to record 75+ regular-season receptions & record 2+ regular-season interceptions: +250 (bet $10 to win $35 total) Travis Hunter to score 10+ touchdowns (combined offensive and defensive touchdowns: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total) Travis Hunter to record 5+ regular-season offensive touchdowns & 1+ regular-season defensive: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total) Travis Hunter to score 1+ touchdown & record 1+ interception in season debut: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total) Travis Hunter to record 750+ regular-season yards & record 5+ regular-season interceptions: +1700 (bet $10 to win $180 total) Although Hunter has yet to take an NFL snap, he played a remarkable 2,625 snaps and became the most decorated player in Colorado football history. During his time with the Buffaloes, he recorded 171 receptions for 2,167 yards and 24 touchdowns. Defensively, Hunter was equally impressive. He logged 87 tackles (including 63 solo and three for a loss), along with nine interceptions for 99 yards and a touchdown. Additionally, he had 26 pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Hunter's milestones earned him numerous awards, including the Heisman Trophy, AP College Football Player of the Year, Walter Camp Award, Chuck Bednarik Award, Fred Biletnikoff Award and Lott Trophy, and he was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.
