JACKSONVILLE – This was his moment – a huge, historical moment.

Travis Hunter is now a member of the Jaguars – and for the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner who also ranks as one of the most unique draft selections in NFL history, that is an extremely cool and welcome happening.

“It means a lot to me,” he said.

Hunter, a wide receiver/defensive back from the University of Colorado, on Thursday became the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Jaguars selected him there after trading up with the Cleveland Browns from No. 5 overall.

“I wanted to cry, but I can’t cry right now because I’m too excited,” Hunter told NFL Network moments after the selection.

Hunter (6-feet-1, 185 pounds), who played two seasons at Colorado and entered the draft as an early-entry junior, was considered by many analysts not only the draft’s best wide receiver but its best cornerback.

Hunter he will leave his position up to “whatever the coaches in the organization, in the club think about me.”

“It is up to them at this point, but I’m going to go out there and show my ability to do both,” he said, adding: “I know they believe in me and they believed that I can do it.”

Hunter, who also won the Walter Camp Award and was the Associated Press College Football Player of the Year, won the Chuck Bednarik Award for college football’s best defensive player and the Fred Biletnikoff Award for college football’s best wide receiver in 2024 – becoming the first player to win both awards.
