Building Day By Day: Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen Shares His Perspective of OTA Practice 4

Hunter worked extensively with the defense last Wednesday in OTA Day 3.

> "He's a really, really bright guy," Campanile said. "Everybody has been really impressed with his ability to retain the information. He has been out there with us on defense. He was on offense \[Tuesday\]. He has done a great job with that. I can't imagine another guy being any better suited to handle that."

Coen called Hunter's work with the defense last Wednesday "good."

"He's still learning," Coen said. "He has been learning a ton defensively and offensively, as we know. It wasn't a ton of 11 on 11, seven on seven. It was more fundamentals, techniques, communication. That was what kind of last Wednesday was.

"He has been learning with those guys and meeting with them extra as he has needed to."

**Coen said Hunter, who is expected to be the first player NFL in nearly three decades to play extensively full-time both offense and defense, likely won't practice with both offense and defense on the same day during OTAs.**

> "We won't put him in that situation to have him do that, although I'm sure he'd probably want to," Coen said. "He still meets defensively every day that he's on offense, so he's getting the mental part of it and is able to catch up on some of the communication, some of the corrections off the film from the defensive side of the ball.

"He's getting a lot of the mental and it would probably be unfair to put him out on the grass and do both and ask him to go do that and see success."

Coen said he expects Hunter will practice on both sides of the ball at some point during the regular season.
