Travis Hunter is projected to see increased playing time at cornerback for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2026, according to NFL analyst Eric Edholm. He predicts that Hunter will emerge primarily in a defensive role, potentially claiming a starting position opposite Montaric Brown. With a strong preseason showing on defense before an injury, the Jaguars' roster dynamics may favor Hunter's contributions in this area, despite expectations that he will still play on offense. This adaptive usage could vary based on weekly matchups and game situations throughout the season.
