The former Colorado Buffaloes star, who went No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars - who made a big trade up with the Cleveland Browns to get him - played 18 snaps in his team's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hunter, who is expected to get time at both wide receiver and cornerback, had two catches for 9 yards. He played eight snaps at cornerback on defense.

Hunter, who began his college career at Jackson State in Mississippi, was admittedly nervous before kickoff.

"I was a little nervous at first," Hunter said. "But after the first play, I was good."

Hunter has impressed both on and off of the field during his football career. While he's been a standout performer on the field, he's been an elite performer in the classroom, too.

The former Colorado Buffaloes star's final college GPA went viral on social media following his first NFL preseason game.

Hunter's final college GPA: 3.9.

That's impressive.

Hunter's head coach was impressed with his play on the field during the preseason opener, too.

"He made a couple good catches on some option routes and missed the one tackle defensively that I noticed," Liam Coen said. "I'll have to watch the tape on how he operated defensively a little bit more, but I thought offensively, he made the right decisions on those option routes. Made a good catch, almost broke out of that one where Trevor put it behind him on that third down we talked about, but I'll have to go watch the tape a little bit more to know more."

Hunter and the Jaguars will look to take a step forward during the 2025 season.
