“Everybody’s Calling Me a Bust”: Jaguars’ Travis Hunter Claps Back at Critics Over Two-Way Struggles

Jacksonville Jaguars two-way player Travis Hunter responded to critics labeling him a bust after his offensive workload was reduced early in the season. Speaking on the Chasing No 1 podcast with Ja'Marr Chase and Annie Agar, Hunter defended his past injury as a freak practice accident unrelated to playing both offense and defense, dismissing criticism following sharp public remarks from commentator Jason Whitlock.

Hunter answered the skepticism on the field during Jacksonville's 34-31 loss to the Houston Texans in London on October 18. In that game, Hunter caught a touchdown pass and intercepted Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud in the end zone, demonstrating the versatility that led Jacksonville head coach Liam Coen and the front office to draft him No. 2 overall.
