Jaguars head coach Liam Coen has made it clear that it’s too early to start speculating about Travis Hunter’s future as a two-way player. The coach, who has been with the team since 2020, emphasized that the focus should remain on the quarterback’s current performance and development. Coen stressed that the team’s priority is to ensure Hunter is given the best opportunity to succeed in his role as a passer.
Coen’s comments come amid growing discussions about the potential benefits of a two-way player in the NFL. While some analysts argue that the ability to play both offense and defense could provide a strategic advantage, Coen remains cautious. He pointed out that the modern NFL is highly specialized, and forcing a player into a two-way role could lead to burnout and decreased performance.
The coach also mentioned that the team’s coaching staff is working closely with Hunter to determine the best path forward. Coen expressed confidence in the player’s abilities but reiterated that any decisions about his role will be based on his development and how well he adapts to the team’s system.
