The Jacksonville Jaguars need to get two-way standout Travis Hunter more involved on offense. Brian Thomas Jr. dropped two passes in a 20-13 loss at Denver, again raising concerns about his dependability. A first-round draft pick who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2024, Thomas ranked second in the NFL with 10 drops last season. His struggles had Jaguars coach Liam Coen ready to make Hunter the team’s go-to receiver last October.
Days later, Hunter tore a ligament in his right knee in practice and missed the rest of the season. Now, Hunter deserves another shot beginning with Sunday’s game against New England.
