Deion Sanders Says Jags Should've Had Travis Hunter Covering Davante Adams After 3 TDs

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders believes the Jacksonville Jaguars should have had Travis Hunter covering Los Angeles Rams wideout Davante Adams on Sunday at Wembley Stadium, a game that saw Adams catch five passes for 35 yards and three touchdowns in a 35-7 win.

"He probably should have been on Davante Adams for those three touchdowns," he said, laughing, during this week's Colorado Football Coaches Show with Mark Johnson (36:00 mark). "Could somebody have thought of that?"

Hunter only played 14 snaps on defense against the Rams. He made quite the impact offensively, however, catching eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets.

The Jags have seen much more inclined to play Hunter consistently on offense than defense, and haven't given him the same sort of full-time load on both sides of the ball that he had at Colorado.

That makes sense—NFL game-planning is more complicated than at the college level, not to mention the increased physical demands. The Jags clearly aren't willing to play him full-time both ways just yet, or perhaps ever.

As for Colorado, the Buffs are 3-4 on the season and just 1-3 in the Big 12.
