Overview
- Hunter, responding on Sunday on X to an NFL Network report that labeled him a full-time corner and part-time receiver, wrote, “Now who told you this?”
- Adam Schefter said Monday on The Pat McAfee Show that he expects Hunter’s cornerback snaps to spike in 2026 while he still takes offensive snaps.
- General manager James Gladstone has said the team still plans for Hunter to play on both sides and that he will be limited through the offseason program with a goal of full participation in training camp.
- Jacksonville’s receiver depth with Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington lowers the need for Hunter at wideout, while the secondary has fewer proven options after losing Greg Newsome in free agency.
- Hunter’s rookie year ended after an LCL tear in seven games, when he logged 324 snaps on offense and 162 on defense, fueling a workload debate that will not be settled until OTAs and training camp reveal how he is used.
