The Colorado legend was taken by the Jags with the No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft. He has played both ways in his NFL debut, but a majority of the snaps have come on offense. The game with the Carolina Panthers was delayed due to lightning in the area. Hunter finished with six catches for 33 yards. He added a tackle on defense. 

For Hunter, the offseason has been a busy one. It will also be a point of reflection in the future. He married his longtime girlfriend, Leanna Lenee, became a father and bought a house. All in three months. Not to mention, moving from Boulder to Jacksonville and getting adjusted with other parts of life.
