Travis Hunter final stats: Snap count on offense, defense in Jaguars vs. Bengals image

JUMP TO:

After making his presence felt in his NFL debut, Travis Hunter took his two-way show on the road.

The Jacksonville Jaguars' rookie saw action on both sides of the ball in his NFL debut, which came in front of his home fans at EverBank Stadium. In Week 2, the Jags were on to Cincinnati, where they looked impressive before losing to the Bengals, 31-27.

In Week 2, Hunter had a historic workload of sorts, becoming the first player since at least 2012 to see 20-plus snaps on offense and defense, per OptaStats. This was aligned with head coach Liam Coen saying Hunter "will get more snaps on defense." The rookie's mettle was tested, as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins highlight Cincinnati's dynamic receiving corps.

The Sporting News tracked his snap count and performance against the Bengals.
