Four Jaguars media members – senior writer John Oehser, senior correspondent Brian Sexton, senior reporter/editor J.P. Shadrick and team reporter/producer Kainani Stevens – shared an observation following practice. Here they are:
Senior Writer John Oehser: Not every May NFL practice is memorable and cool, but Day 2 of Jaguars 2025 rookie minicamp at the Miller Electric Center was both – not only because of Travis Hunter, but also because the Jaguars are doing things right these days. Hunter, a wide receiver/cornerback selected by the Jaguars No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, unsurprisingly stood out during Saturday's non-contact, unpadded work. The 2024 Heisman Trophy winner is a high-end, electric, dynamic athlete with superstar magnetism – and even in a difficult-to-evaluate minicamp environment with little "real football" happening, it's an easy evaluation to say he has special qualities. What was notable about this weekend was that fans got to see those qualities for themselves, with the team opening practice to season-ticket holders on Friday – and to fans in general on Saturday. That gave fans a chance to see not only Hunter, but the positive momentum happening around the organization this offseason. Not every NFL team opens rookie minicamp practice. The Jaguars in recent offseasons have not done so. But this regime – led by Head Coach Liam Coen, General Manager James Gladstone and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli – believes in letting the fans embrace this team. They consistently have backed that belief with action, and Saturday was yet another example. Cool stuff. Kudos to those who made it happen. Memorable day.
