Jaguars Make Announcement About Travis Hunter Ahead Of Rookie Minicamp

The Jacksonville Jaguars got a steal when they traded up to get Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter. He became the highest drafted cornerback and second-highest drafted wide receiver in NFL history 

Hunter arrived in Duval on Friday for rookie minicamp, which was 24 hours after participating in the commencement ceremony in Boulder. 

There was more news coming from the Jaguars on Friday. Hunter will retain his college number and wear No. 12 starting this year. With the details set in stone, 'Saucy-T's jersey will likely be an NFL top-seller, like his CU teammate Shedeur Sanders, who ironically took the same number from the Cleveland Browns

Hunter has worn No. 12 nearly his entire life. He carried it from Jackson State to Colorado and now in the NFL. There's a little luck for the Heisman Trophy winner who will look to make his number famous at the next level.

Now, Hunter joins a Jaguars franchise looking to make strides towards being an AFC contender. He's expected to be a rare asset on both sides of the ball. Jacksonville was one of the only NFL teams who expressed willingness to have Hunter at wide receiver and cornerback.

Hunter became the most decorated player in college football history last year being named the consensus national player of the year by winning the Heisman Trophy, Walter Camp Award and both the AP and Sporting News Player of the Year honors.  He was also repeated as the Paul Hornung Award (most versatile player) while winning the Bednarik Award and Lott IMPACT Trophy as national defensive player of the year and the Biletnikoff Award as the best receiver regardless of position.
