Travis Hunter faces pressure in Year 2 with Jaguars
Summary

The Jacksonville Jaguars' Travis Hunter is identified as one of the top Year 2 NFL players under pressure for the 2026 season. Selected as the second overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Hunter's dual role as both wide receiver and cornerback attracts significant scrutiny. After a promising start last season, where he recorded a 100-yard performance, he suffered a season-ending knee injury. Reports indicate he is on track to participate in training camp but may require a ramp-up period. General Manager James Gladstone confirmed Hunter will continue to play both positions, likely increasing his defensive role this season.
