On Tuesday, Jacksonville HJaguars coach Liam Coen clarified his statement during an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show."“He (Travis Huntger) practiced on offense at Colorado; it was just primarily defense,” Coen said. “He’d go out and look at the signals from the sidelines, which that’s what they did; they were a no-huddle operation. "So I think he practiced on offense, just not very much. It was way more on defense. He got in the walk-throughs on offense, and look, they used him and made him a Heisman Trophy winner.”During his nascent NFL career, Hunter has tallied 11 tackles and one pass breakup on the defensive side of the ball, while adding 118 yards on 13 receptions on the offensive side of the ball as he awaits his first professional touchdown.
