Last month, Colorado coach Deion Sanders expressed disappointment that the Jaguars never contacted him regarding former Buffaloes superstar Travis Hunter.
In a more recent interview, the topic came up again regarding whether the Jaguars will pick Deion’s brain.
“They’re not going to ask me,” Sanders told D.J. Saddiqi of Covers.com. “I thank God that you’re asking me. The kid won the Heisman Trophy playing both sides of the ball. That’s all I’ve got to say on that.”
Deion later said a bit more, on the topic of the player(s) to whom Hunter could be compared.
“There’s no comparison to what he’s able to produce on the field,” Sanders said. “It’s no comparison. I can’t say who I would compare him to, because I would be lessening that person. That’s not fair to him or the persons that I’m comparing it to. He’s different, man.”
The Jaguars made Travis Hunter a part-time two-way player in 2025, taking roughly two-thirds of the offensive snaps in the seven games he played and roughly one-third of the defensive snaps.
A knee injury ended Hunter’s rookie season prematurely, underscoring the durability concerns raised by taking practice and game reps on both sides of the ball.
Yes, Hunter did it — and did it well — in college. Doing it in the NFL against the best of the best competition is a very different proposition.
The Jaguars have signed one of their key special teams players to a new deal.
According to a report from NFL Network, Jacksonville has agreed to a two-year extension with long snapper Ross Matiscik.
The contract, worth $3.8 million in new money, makes him the league’s new highest-paid long snapper.
Matiscik, 29, has been Jacksonville’s long snapper since 2020, appearing in every game since that year. He has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons. He has also been a first-team AP All-Pro in 2023 and 2025.
Former Dolphins wide receiver Erik Ezukanma is headed back to the NFL.
NFL Media reports that the Eagles are signing Ezukanma to their 90-man roster. Ezukanma was a 2022 fourth-round pick in Miami and he most recently played for the UFL’s DC Defenders.
Ezukanma had 15 catches for 227 yards and a touchdown during the 2026 UFL season. He also ran nine times for 79 yards and averaged 25.5 yards per kickoff return.
Ezukanma appeared in five games over three seasons with the Dolphins and had one catch for three yards to go with five carries for 22 yards. He spent time with the Jaguars in 2025 before moving on to the UFL.
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen oversaw a major turnaround in his first season with the team, but the ending was still a bitter one in Jacksonville.
The Jags went from 4-13 to winning the AFC South with a 13-4 record, but a Josh Allen touchdown run with a minute to play and a Trevor Lawrence interception on the next play meant that the Bills got a road win in the first round of the playoffs. On Monday, Coen said that the final chapter sent a clear message about how much they accomplished last season.
“This team understands there was meat left on the bone,” Coen said, via the team’s website.
Coen said that the way the Jaguars “attacked this offseason is representative of that hunger” and noted the number of players who remained on the field after Monday’s practice as an indication of that commitment.
“It has become a standard,” Coen said. “It has become something that we don’t have to ask them to do anymore. We don’t have to necessarily encourage it. They’re doing it and they’re taking the time out of there, rest and recovery, to go get some extra reps. That’s important.”
The Jaguars jumped from also-rans to division winners in Doug Pederson’s first year as head coach in 2022, but they weren’t able to take the next steps. That led to Coen taking over last year and he’ll need to avoid the same plateau if he wants to assure himself of a longer run in Jacksonville.
Running back J.K. Dobbins wanted to stay in Denver for a second season. He is.
He almost wasn’t.
Luca Evans of the Denver Post reports that, before Dobbins worked out a new two-year contract with the Broncos, he had a deal that was essentially “done” with the Jaguars.
Dobbins, who had 772 yards through 10 games before suffering a season-ending foot injury, hopes to build on what he did in 2025.
“What I’m going to show is that last year wasn’t a fluke,” Dobbins said. “Like, instead of being No. 3 in the NFL, I’ll be No. 1 this year. And there won’t be any injuries.”
No running back can credibly make that vow. It’s even harder for Dobbins to do it, given the number of injuries he has suffered during an NFL career that has gone very well, when he’s able to play. He has a career average of 5.2 yards per carry.
Still only 27, Dobbins has plenty of gas in the tank. And, if he can stay healthy all year, he should finish with his first 1,000-yard season.
The Jaguars signed free agent running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. in March to help fill the hole left by Travis Etienne’s departure for the Saints.
Rodriguez, though, is not working with the team during the offseason program. Instead, he is working his way back from surgery on his left foot, which he injured during the conditioning program.
“He will be full go come training camp,” coach Liam Coen said after Tuesday’s minicamp workout, via Michael DiRocco of ESPN.
Bayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen have taken the majority of reps at the position in Rodriguez’s absence.
Rodriguez ran 112 times for 500 yards and six touchdowns with the Commanders in 2025. He had 86 carries for 430 yards and four scores in his first two seasons.
He played five seasons at Kentucky, including 2021 with Coen as the Wildcats’ offensive coordinator.
The Jaguars plan to continue playing Travis Hunter at both wide receiver and cornerback during the 2026 season, but he won’t be doing anything until he’s cleared for a full return to football activities.
Hunter tore his LCL late in October 2025 and missed the rest of his rookie season. He’s been around the team throughout the offseason and head coach Liam Coen said on 1010XL that there’s been obvious growth in terms of his strength, but that he remains unsure of when Hunter will get the green light to do everything needed to get ready for the season.
“I’m extremely pleased with where Travis is at mentally and physically,” Coen said. “I’m not a doctor, I don’t know when he is going to be full go but I do know that he runs on this field every morning with the guys and he’s looking damn good. He’s added so much mass on his upper half, he worked so hard in the weight room through the winter and this offseason. There is no question he’s gotten stronger, specifically in the upper half.”
Coen went on to say that he’s told Hunter that the injury is a “minor setback for a major comeback” and the Jaguars will need that to be true to make their trade up to take Hunter with the second overall pick look like a wise move.
The NFL likes to boast about its growing popularity overseas, but there’s at least one sign that foreign fans are deciding NFL tickets aren’t worth the price.
Tickets to the October 18 Texans-Jaguars game at London’s Wembley Stadium are not selling well. General tickets have been on sale since May 29, and it remains easy on ticket sites to find large blocks of tickets available. Searching ticket sites, fans can find blocks of 12 seats together in many sections of the stadium.
The popular NFL UK Tickets social media account, which tracks ticket availability for NFL London games and is not affiliated with the league, posted a seating map showing many tickets remain unsold.
“Can’t actually believe how badly the Texans v Jaguars game has sold. Over a week of the general sale and this is a snap shot of what the stadium looks like. Gone are the days of selling out the first day, people voting with their feet and staying away due to price,” NFL UK Tickets posted.
Replies to that post show many UK-based fans saying the NFL has made tickets too expensive, with some saying it’s cheaper to fly to the United States to see an NFL game than to buy tickets in their own home country.
The NFL will play a record nine international games this year and plans even more next year, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suggesting that the league may eventually play 16 games overseas, with every team leaving the country once. Poor ticket sales may be the only thing that could slow down the NFL’s aggressive international plans.
