Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence highlights what makes Travis Hunter so 'unique'

It's uncharted territory for the Jacksonville Jaguars as they onboard second overall pick Travis Hunter at both cornerback and wide receiver.
This means learning two different playbooks, two sets of terminologies, and trying to squeeze all of that--the meetings and practice reps--into a daily schedule.
But having previously praised Hunter's work ethic, quarterback Trevor Lawrence reiterated again on Wednesday that he is confident in Hunter's ability to handle the challenge.
"He can handle it,' Lawrence told The Athletic. 'That's what's unique and special about him. He's the best-conditioned guy I think I've ever seen. He can run all day up and down the field. I haven't seen him tired one time. He's fresh when he goes into the locker room after practice. Everybody else is gassed, and he's like, 'I feel great.' It's unique. I don't know what he does, or if he's just born that way. I know he works really hard, but it's impressive to see him (in action).'
Lawrence's comments on Hunter being the "best-conditioned" player isn't the first time we've heard that. Liam Coen has mentioned it this offseason, as has GM James Gladstone. While many wonder how Hunter will be able to handle playing both ways, a key factor in that equation is that he never seemingly gets tired.
Through offseason programs, the bulk of Hunter's practice time came on offense. As Coen described to The Athletic, wide receiver is where he "needs the most development," given all the fundamentals, details, timing, and technique that comes with playing that position.
The next step for Hunter, however, will be routinely practicing on both offense and defense during the same practice--something he hasn't done much of yet. Through the first six training camp practices or so, we will see Hunter playing either offense or defense before he is then regularly playing offense and defense on the same day.
With that said, throughout this entire process, the Jaguars will remain fluid when it comes to how they handle Hunter's schedule. While everything from practice reps to meeting times for training camp is already laid out, the Jaguars will be quick to adjust things if needed, which, coming off the offseason programs, is something they've already done.
