Head coach Liam Coen brushed off the noise surrounding his star player's playing time. He explained that the Jaguars' top priority is team success rather than managing individual metrics: "He cares about winning," Coen said in the press conference. "That's what he cares about. Like, and all the other stuff, the reps, where we picked him, does that — I don't give two Fs about value. And neither does he. We care about winning. And that's it."

Earlier in May, Hunter, on external noise to dual-position play, said , "That room goes both ways. I go in there every single day for about 15, 30 minutes throughout the day. Just going there and continuously burn out reps. I can burn out 30, 40 reps in 15 minutes every time I go in there."

Last season, Hunter made it clear he would rather walk away from the entire sport than accept a single-position restriction:

"It's never playing football again," he said . "Because I've been doing it my whole life, and I love being on the football field. I feel like I could dominate on each side of the ball, so I really enjoy doing it."

A major knee injury cut short Hunter's debut season. The Jaguars (who picked him second overall in 2024 NFL Draft) are easing him back into the offense.
