Brian Thomas Jr. has gotten a front-row view to Travis Hunter's attempt to play both wide receiver and cornerback in the NFL. Hunter, the No. 2 pick by the Jaguars' in this year's draft, made his debut at both wide receiver and cornerback last week in the Jaguars' preseason opener, playing one series on offense and two on defense. He is looking to continue playing both offense and defense as a pro, a feat no player has accomplished on a full-time basis since the 1960s.
Thomas, who emerged as the Jaguars' No. 1 receiver during his outstanding rookie season, has only gone up against Hunter a few times while he's playing defense in practice. Still, he ensures the offense is properly challenging Hunter before he sees his first regular season action.
