Overview
- On Sunday, Hunter produced an interception and a roughly 35-yard contested reception in the same 11-on-11 sequence, a practice many reporters called his best pro outing to date.
- Through the first week of camp he has taken meaningful work on both sides, tracked at about 34 defensive snaps and 22 offensive snaps in 11-on-11 periods.
- Hunter added roughly 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason, says he feels faster and was clocked at about 22.6 mph in workouts as he finishes rehab from a right LCL repair.
- Coaches and GM James Gladstone praised his progress and movement but have mapped his reps and say they will carefully limit workload despite Hunter’s comment that he wants to play “all of them.”
- Jacksonville’s receiver depth and clearer need at cornerback shape the plan to tilt Hunter toward more defensive duty, which could change weekly depending on matchups and his managed recovery.
