Arik Armstead of the Jacksonville Jaguars expressed enthusiasm for the team's decision to trade up to the No. 2 pick to select Travis Hunter in the 2025 NFL Draft. Armstead highlighted Hunter's impressive versatility, noting that he could excel as both a receiver and a cornerback, a rare attribute for a player. The Jaguars, having originally held the No. 5 pick, made a strategic move to ensure they secured Hunter before he was picked by another team.

Hunter, who became the first player in history to win multiple prestigious college awards in a single season, including the Heisman Trophy, displayed exceptional talent during his time at Colorado. Coach Liam Coen is set to utilize Hunter primarily on offense while occasionally integrating him into defensive schemes. Armstead emphasized the excitement surrounding Hunter's potential contribution to the team, believing his dynamic skill set will elevate the Jaguars' performance in the upcoming season.
