The 2025 NFL Draft began as expected Tennessee Titan Draft quarterback Cam was kicked out of Miami.
After that, everything changed.
The incredible, two-way standout Travis Hunter Jr. from Colorado and the latest winner of the Heisman Trophy, The Ways The Wither was his second pick on Thursday night. Not Cleveland Browns Take the standing putt and the hunter with the number 2 – Shoe Hei Ohtani has made the player the general manager – Cleveland Jacksonville Jaguar. The Browns went fifth and the Jaguars went second to draft Hunter.
On Friday, the team introduced Hunter at the facility, and new general manager James Gladstone addressed the question of why he was willing to trade for Hunter to No. 2.
His answer is just a short distance from Hollywood.
“Sitting here, Travis Hunter is the Jacksonville Jaguar,” Gladstone began. “Thinking about the power of football sports and the game itself, what really comes to mind is the ability to ignite beliefs: belief in yourself.
“Travis Hunter, he embodies his belief.
“He’s a rare person. He’s a rare player. But he also reminds me that the boundaries of football matches have been built to be challenged.
“We hope that a statement about how we plan to move, who we are and that he is nothing more than him.
“Because when he’s there he’s increasing the space around him. From the soccer field to the city, to the football game itself.”
You can see the entire clip here:
Hunter’s new head coach Liam Cohen spoke about how the team uses Hunter, noting that the team must be “fluid” in how it utilizes the latest players. But the plan is to use him on both sides of the football and they want him to “seem like what looks like Colorado.”
The odds are that the Jaguar fans of your life were fired on Friday morning.
This press conference probably just added fuel to those fires.
