The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner and second overall pick in 2025 donned the same color jersey as the offense, had a play sheet in hand and was listening to calls through an earpiece. He even got into a few huddles and split out behind fellow receivers to run a simulated version of the play behind the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe just needs to memory bank all those things so that when he is back moving around, he\u2019s feeling good, he is flying around, he has it down,\u201d quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. \u201cI think he will. He\u2019s been out there basically in the huddle every play. We\u2019ve got a 12th guy. So, he\u2019s been in the huddle listening. He\u2019s locked in. He\u2019s done a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hunter spent time with local high school athletes at a Planet Fitness in Jacksonville to help the gym promote a free summer pass program that allows teens aged 14-19 to work for free beginning in June and running through the end of August.<\/p>\n<p>Hunter joked that he might never have moved to Georgia had he had such a program growing up in South Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish I would have had this opportunity to be able to come to a gym where I don\u2019t have to pay, don\u2019t have to sign up for anything, just come in and work out, chill with my buddies in the gym, staying out of trouble,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The event was Hunter\u2019s first media availability since a breakout performance against the Los Angeles Rams in London on Oct. 19. He caught eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in a 35-7 loss, and the Jaguars were planning to use him as their No. 1 receiver moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>But he tore his lateral collateral ligament following a bye week and three days before the Jaguars played at Las Vegas. The Jaguars are being cautious with his return.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=1883\">Congressman Maxwell Frost calls Alligator Alcatraz a \u2018stain on Florida\u2019s history\u2019 amid looming closure<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really at the mercy of the rehab and the docs in terms of what that looks like in the next steps of getting out on the grass,\u201d coach Liam Coen said. \u201cBut really feel no pressure. I think he\u2019s done a phenomenal job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The walkthrough wall allowed for much of his progress. Hunter estimates he can \u201cburn out\u201d about 40 reps during a 15-minute session.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s accumulating a ton of reps that he\u2019s not going to be able to get until he is cleared to go,\u201d Coen said.<\/p>\n<p>And the Jaguars insist Hunter will play both ways when he returns. General manager James Gladstone said in January that he expected Hunter to have a \u201chigher emphasis\u201d on defense in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network created a stir by suggesting Hunter might see the majority of his repetitions on defense, a notion the team and the player disputed. And it surely wasn\u2019t a coincidence that Hunter spent the team\u2019s first on-field workout solely with the offense.<\/p>\n<p>His ultimate role is still to be determined, but the Jaguars expect him to be a factor alongside receivers Jakobi Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr. and Parker Washington as well potentially a starting cornerback opposite Montaric Brown.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s planning to spend equal time on both sides during OTAs and expects to be fully cleared by training camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot being on the field, you can\u2019t retain a lot unless you go in there and be focused and try to learn as much as you can every single day because you\u2019re not getting those live reps,\u201d he said. \u201cI try to sneak in and get as much knowledge as I can from everybody and try to help the younger guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/orlandorelocationreport.com\/?p=1881\">Start times announced for first three Florida football games<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Jacksonville Jaguars turned two wall-sized, walkthrough simulators into a giant, singular unit this offseason.
