ANALYSISCoen's comments are music to the ears of fantasy managers and Jaguars fans alike, with Hunter -- the No. 2 overall pick out of Colorado -- having the chance to earn a starting job on offense and potentially help spark a breakout season for quarterback
Trevor Lawrence. The team wouldn't have given up such a massive haul to move up to the second spot in the draft without intent to use Hunter on both sides of the ball, but it's difficult to project what his two-way role may look like in terms of snap counts and targets. Jacksonville already has a bona fide No. 1 receiver in
Brian Thomas, whose presence arguably reduces the pressure for Hunter to handle large snap counts on offense. Coen said Hunter will learn the team's defensive system and take some offseason reps on that side of the ball, even though the Jaguars want offense to be his priority for now.
