It's important to note the value is based on projections. If Jacksonville plans to use Hunter in two positions, his contract could be even more lucrative and rise up to more than $50 million.

In the 2024 NFL draft, the No. 2 pick, Jayden Daniels, earned $37.7 million with a $24.3 million signing bonus with the Washington Commanders. Since the salary cap is going up, early first-round picks are projected to get better contracts.

Hunter began his collegiate career at Jackson State in 2022. After playing one season with the Tigers, he transferred to Colorado in 2023. In his final year with the Buffs, Hunter won the Heisman Trophy. As a wideout, he recorded 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns on 96 receptions. He also posted 31 tackles, 11 pass breakups, and four interceptions as a defensive back for Colorado.

Jaguars coach Liam Coen suggested that Hunter is likely to play primarily on offense, before learning the team's defensive system.

“We’ll have a plan right now of [Hunter playing] primarily on offense,” Coen said after Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft, “with learning the defensive system and practicing on the defensive side of the ball as well throughout this offseason program."

Hunter had his No. 12 Colorado jersey retired by CU at Folsom Field, a week before the draft. The versatile star also became the first Buffs player to be drafted in the first round in 14 years.

Now, it will be interesting to see how Hunter fares in the NFL.
