After seven games, <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/travis-hunter-144752/">Travis Hunter</a> has secured his first <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/nfl/news/?page=2">NFL</a> touchdown. The No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft found the end zone after carving up the Rams’ secondary and hauling in a 34-yard pass from quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/trevor-lawrence-115766/">Trevor Lawrence</a> to cut Los Angeles’ lead to 28-7.



Though the touchdown was Hunter’s first, he acted like it was nothing new, hardly celebrating the score. He has played a key role in the Jaguars’ strong start to this season, earning snaps on both offense and defense.



“Every day it’s a great challenge for us. His position coaches, athletic trainers, media – everybody has to be involved in the process,” Jaguars head coach Liam Coen <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/american-football/articles/cz0xmr7ezv0o">said</a> of utilizing Hunter, per the BBC. “When you’re working with a guy that just loves football, loves to work, loves to play, you really want to help people like that… I think he’s somebody who’ll continue to get better each week and it has been a fun challenge so far.



“It’s our job to make sure we’re scheming him open, putting him in positions to be the No. 1 [option] more often… When he is, we’ve got to identify it and find him, and he’s got to be in the right spot at the tight time.”

Hunter was the Jaguars’ No. 1 option on Sunday. He finished the game with a team-high eight catches for a career-best 101 yards and a touchdown. Jaguars quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/trevor-lawrence-115766/">Trevor Lawrence</a> knows for the team to reach its potential, Hunter will need to play a large role in the offense.



“There’s a lot of conversations that go into each week, every gameplan, trying to get dialled in so that we are on the same page and have that chemistry,” Lawrence said. “That’s so important for a quarterback and wide receiver.



“I’m finding more ways to get him the ball. Sometimes we might not get him as many touches as we want, the game unfolds differently, but we’re consistently trying because he’s so special when he gets opportunities downfield or just catches the ball underneath. He can make people miss [tackles] and turn five-yard passes into 25-yard gains because he’s so good with the ball in his hands. He has so much talent.”



Although the Jaguars weren’t able to win on Sunday, they still boast a 4-3 record. With Travis Hunter having his best game yet, the future could be bright for Jacksonville.
