A stunner in Jacksonville: Jaguars trade up in NFL draft to land 2-way star Travis Hunter

By Canadian Press on April 24, 2025.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars traded up three spots to select Heisman Trophy winner/two-way Colorado star Travis Hunter with the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft Thursday.

The Jaguars gave up four picks — including second- and fourth-rounders this year and their 2026 first-rounder — to land one of the most intriguing NFL prospects in draft history and set the tone for a new regime that features first-time general manager James Gladstone, first-time head coach Liam Coen and first-time executive vice president Tony Boselli.

Now, they have the first two-way player in franchise lore.

The Jags also received a fourth-rounder and a sixth-rounder in return from the Browns.
