JACKSONVILLE – Lets get to it …

It was hard not to be impressed with Travis Sunday. Were you there? Thoughts?

Wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter had an uber-impressive practice on Day 4 of Jaguars 2026 Training Camp at the Miller Electric Center Sunday, arguably his best practice since joining the Jaguars as the No. 2 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft. He not only had two impressive downfield receptions from quarterback Trevor Lawrence, he had an electric interception on a pass from backup quarterback Nick Mullens to tight end Quintin Morris. The plays showed his athleticism, ball skills and energy – and it was hard to watch that practice and not see what the Jaguars believed they were acquiring when they traded up with the Cleveland Browns to select Hunter last offseason. As significantly, he also looked fully recovered from the knee injury that cost him the last 10 regular-season games of his rookie season. As for your questions, I'll take the first one first: Yes, I was there. Try as management might, I keep figuring out a way to get into practice. Regarding the second question … my thought is if Hunter makes the sorts of plays he made Sunday even sporadically this season, he will make a major impact. NFL games often turn on big moments and big-momentum plays. That's what Hunter's ability promises and he showed a lot of promise Sunday.

Call me a pessimist because I have a hard time getting excited when someone looks good in an intersquad practice. When someone looks good, doesn't that imply that someone else looked bad?

Mine is not to counsel the pessimists among us on when and when not to get excited. We at Jaguars Media report how practice goes during Jaguars training camp because that's why we attend practice, and that is why many people read and listen to what we write and say about training camp. Hunter within the context of pad-less, non-contact training camp practice made some spectacular plays Sunday. What does this tell us? That he was more spectacular Sunday than the other players practicing in this pad-less non-contact situation. As for your question … no, someone looking good in practice does not imply that someone else looked bad. It implies that the player who looked good looked good. Or something like that.

Uhh, my key card is not working today. Do you think you're next?

I always think I am next.

No mention of Trevor in the training camp coverage? Something wrong?

I'm not sure what training camp "coverage" you mean. I am sure we have mentioned Lawrence fairly often in our training camp coverage here on Jaguars media channels, and I assume essentially everyone else covering camp has mentioned him. He and the offense weren't great last Wednesday on Day 1. They have been good-to-very good in practice all three days since. The pads go on Monday. I expect Lawrence and the offense will be good-to-very good moving forward. Stay tuned.

Not a question but a comment. I never knew of Jacoby before we traded for him last year, I am extremely impressed with his professionalism and play. Jacoby was meant to be here. Jacoby is a true We before Me player. I trust the leadership of this team, congratulations Mr. Khan.

Jaguars veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers – a.k.a., Jacoby Meyers – is a professional on and off the field. The trade to bring him to Jacksonville last offseason ranks as perhaps the best midseason trade in franchise history. He is definitely a We before Me player and a prime example of how this leadership regime of Head Coach Liam Coen, General Manager James Gladstone and Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tony Boselli stays alert in real time to make the right and necessary moves. Meyers helped change the team's dynamic for the better at midseason last season. That is rare stuff.

How much do you believe Travis Hunter's knowledge of the offense's playbook is impacting how well he is playing on defense? In other words, if he knows the formations and in turn the probable route of the receivers, it unquestionably gives him a massive advantage. Is that something considered in the evaluation of Hunter?

Knowing the formation in practice doesn't necessarily mean knowing the probable route of the receivers, and Hunter played at a high level in coverage last season – and throughout his collegiate career – without knowing the opponent's offensive playbook. Does Hunter have some idea of the Jaguars' scheme and therefore some level of comfort in practice? Sure. But the play he made on the ball on his interception Sunday was about high-end athleticism and ball skills more than reading the route. Do the Jaguars factor in his knowledge of the offense when evaluating Hunter? No, they evaluate his skillset and performance. The first is high and the latter has been equally high so far in camp.

KOAF: I know college football is a different sport than the NFL in terms of speed and strength and sheer athleticism. What is the main reason that some college teams use a "spread formation" on punts with two-to-three-foot gaps between linemen and NFL teams have everyone in tight? I never see college players exploit the gap and get a good rush on the punter.

NFL teams line up tight on punts because punts get blocked if you leave huge gaps in the blocking scheme. I do not know why the athletes that play in the elite football that is the Southeastern Conference don't exploit gaps in their blocking formations. This is because I don't cover the elite football that is the Southeastern Conference.

Sixty-eight-year-old diehard rocker here. And never really had a taste for beer, but Duval Beer Kinda Night left a big ole ear to ear smile on my face.

Sixty-year-old diehard something or other here. I absolutely had a taste for beer, if not necessarily every kind of music. I smiled at Duval Beer Kinda Night, too. Beeeeeeeeeg 'ol.

Kenneth from Jacksonville

Who is the best player in Jaguars history to don No. 92?

Possibilities here include defensive tackle Don Davey (1995-1997), defensive tackle Sheldon Day (2016-2017), defensive end Austen Lane (2010-2012), defensive lineman Rob Meier (2000-2008) and defensive end Danny Striggow. We will go Meier here, pretty clearly.

O, the Jags deep, wide receiver corps is frightening - to the opposing team's defense. All the offensive line has to do is play average to make amazing things happen. I am trying not to get too excited, but I can't help myself.

This was a good receiving corps late last season – and that was without Hunter and with wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. not playing at what might be considered "peak BTJ" level. Both of those players are playing well in '26 camp so far. So are Meyers and wide receiver Parker Washington. It is a balanced group with striking ability to make plays with the ball in the air and to attack all levels of the opposing defense. Defenses, as coaches like to say, must cover "every inch of grass" against this team. It is exciting.

Chris from Mandarin

Of course defensive ends Travon Walker and Josh Hines-Allen play different positions than defensive tackles Marcus Stroud and John Henderson did, but how would you compare the manner in which our current edges' define the identity of the defensive line to those from the Jack Del Rio era?

This is an interesting question and I confess my answer likely won't be great. Part of this is because the positions are different. Another part is because I didn't cover Stroud and Henderson daily, and therefore don't have an intimate feel for just how they played. I did watch enough Stroud/Henderson games to know the Jaguars' defense was dominant against the run. It also was very hard for the interior offensive line to minimize interior pressure against Stroud and Henderson. It's very difficult to run against Walker/Hines-Allen, a duo that at times is very disruptive against the pass. If the Jaguars can get better interior pressure, this can turn into a dominant defensive front comparable to just about any defensive front. Stay tuned.

My vote for Hoosiers as best all-time sports movie and "how many passes?" I got chills when I walked into Hinkle Fieldhouse for the first time.

I don't know if Hoosiers is the No. 1 sports movie of all time. I do know I don't argue too vehemently with those who vote it there. What I mostly know is I rarely scroll past when I see it and if you don't get chills when Hackman says, "I love you guys," then maybe we're just wired different. My team is on the floor.
