Travis Hunter enters his rookie season as one of the most interesting storylines in the league.
The No. 2 overall pick won the Heisman Trophy last year as both a cornerback and a wide receiver, and he entered the draft with the belief that he can continue playing both in the NFL. Jacksonville traded up to take Hunter in the draft, and it appears the team fully believes Hunter can be a two-way player for them.
As the Jaguars go through training camp, all eyes are on how Jacksonville is using Hunter in practice. The team also hit a checkpoint this week, when it released the first official depth chart of the season to give the public an idea of how they will use Hunter.
Here's the latest on the Jaguars will use Hunter.

What position will Travis Hunter play?
The Jaguars are committed to playing Hunter at both wide receiver and cornerback even though it appears like such a daunting task. However, Jacksonville is preparing for Hunter to play a little more on offense than on defense, which is proven by Hunter's spot on the Jaguars official depth chart.
Head coach Liam Coen said he believes Hunter could play around 80 percent of offensive snaps, and he has spent more time on the offensive side of the ball in training camp because he needed more development in that area.

Coen also said he thinks Hunter has a chance to win both Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year.
"I do think it's possible," Coen said. "You know, he is committed, man. Like, he is committed to driving, not just himself, but his teammates as well. And I think that his teammates...these guys are challenging him. Every single day. Like, he doesn’t get a free pass because he was second overall pick, and he’s Travis Hunter."
So far, Hunter has acknowledged that balancing the two positions is a tougher mentally than physically.
"I"d probably say mentally, because you’ve got two playbooks," Hunter said, via The Athletic. "You've got to do different terms each and every day. I’'d say the playbook."

In their first official depth chart, the Jaguars list Travis Hunter as a starting wide receiver and a second-string cornerback. Jacksonville is deeper at cornerback than at wide receiver in general, but it is still notable that Hunter is higher on the wide receiver depth chart than he is on the cornerback depth chart.
So far, head coach Liam Coen believes the balancing act of having Hunter so high on both depth chart's is a bigger deal for the coaches.
"It's weird, it's probably harder logistically for us as coaches to navigate it and making sure we're making use of all his time," Coen said. "I think it doesn't bother him as much. He's pretty unfazed by some of this stuff."
