On Thursday, Jacksonville Jaguars made a bold trade to take wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter at No. 2 overall. Now, the Jaguars are committed to letting the two-way player make an impact on both sides of the ball.

In an interview on the NFL Draft broadcast on Saturday, Jacksonville general manager James Gladstone said that the team plans for Hunter to play both offense and defense. But he said that there will be a preseason process to get him to that point, with the rookie starting on offense first and adding defense by the start of the regular season.
