Is Travis Hunter’s Spot on the Jaguars Really Secure? Ryan Clark Thinks Otherwise!
So here we are, watching Travis Hunter—this once-thought prodigy of the gridiron—shuffle onto the field with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I can’t help but ask: what exactly is he supposed to be? A wide receiver? A defensive back? Both? The Jaguars certainly threw the kitchen sink at him during the draft, but so far, the payoff has been… underwhelming, to put it mildly. Former NFL vet Ryan Clark’s recent Twitter musings—wondering if Hunter’s role has somehow boiled down to just another receiver—ring loud and clear. It’s a classic conundrum: when a player’s talent screams “duality,” does trying to do it all at once doom him to a middling existence? Hunter’s potential is undeniable, but maybe it’s smarter—and healthier—to let him master one craft before attempting to juggle two. As fans, we’re left pondering: can a rising star truly blaze when spread thin, or is this just the first stumble in what could still be a dazzling career?
The Jacksonville Jaguars gave up a lot to get their hands on Travis Hunter.
So far, it hasn’t been worth it.
The No. 2 pick has failed to make much of an impact on either side of the field.
That’s why, after watching him take the field on offense and not on defense early in the game against the Los Angeles Rams, former NFL player Ryan Clark took to social media to question his role on the team:
“Is Travis Hunter just a receiver now? What’s the deal? That’s not it man! And he needs to be used more like a utility offensive weapon than a true wide out. Just get it in his hands. He can’t give you the entire route tree at this stage,” Clark posted on X.

This was easy to predict.
It’s one thing to dominate in college, but this is the pro game.
Hunter has the talent to be a superstar at both defensive back and wide receiver, but that’s just not the way things go in the National Football League.
The Jaguars’ desire to use him on both sides of the field has led to him being an average player on defense and offense.
He should play on one side of the ball full-time, and sparingly on the other, at least at the beginning.
Of course, that’s not to say that he will never be a star, as he has the talent, skills, and work ethic.
But sometimes, it’s better to be elite at one thing than average at two.
Hopefully, he will be able to live up to the hype at some point.
More importantly, if he ever plays full-time on both sides of the field, he will be able to stay healthy, as dealing with that type of wear and tear could take a huge toll on his skinny frame.
