Jaguars' DL Arik Armstead weighs in on Travis Hunter's playing time

How ever the Jacksonville Jaguars end up utilizing Travis Hunter this season, defensive tackle Arik Armstead is confident in Hunter's ability to make an impact on both sides of the ball.

"I feel great about it," Armstead said on Good Morning Football when asked about Hunter playing both ways. "I said this about Travis when I first met him, when we drafted him, and I was honored to be able to welcome him to the NFL on the NFL draft stage, but Travis is truly a unicorn. He can do whatever he puts his mind to. I'm excited."

Outside of the building, much has been made this offseason about where Hunter is going to line up, but James Gladstone and Liam Coen have remained steadfast in saying that he will continue to play both offense and defense.

Now, how those snap counts shake out could be different than last season. Prior to Hunter's injury, the bulk of his playing time was at wide receiver.

But this year, Gladstone has mentioned there being an "uptick" in cornerback usage. Presumably, Hunter will start opposite of Montaric Brown. But again, he will see his share of opportunities on offense as well.

Hunter continues to work his way back from last season's knee injury during offseason programs, but Gladstone expects that he'll be able to play at "full tick" coming training camp.

Hunter's return to the lineup will provide a big boost for the Jaguars -- on both offense and defense.
