Nick Wright shares what could stop Travis Hunter from becoming the 'face of the NFL'

After an impressive collegiate career, Hunter is expected to shine on both sides of the ball at the professional level as well. The rookie is already seen as a popular figure this season.

However, Nick Wright has some concerns regarding Hunter's popularity surge. Last Thursday, on 'First Things First', he stated how Travis Hunter being a part of the Jaguars will impact his overall marketability.

"When was the last time the NFL had someone in the face of the league conversation that wasn't a quarterback? Because I think he (Travis Hunter) got a shot at it, and I understand the Jacksonville part hurts him, because as much as I love 'Duuuval!', I understand they're not a major market."

Hunter was spotted in a Jaguars jersey for the first time during the NFLPA rookie premiere. The team officially gave him the jersey number 12 on May 9.
