Action Sports Jax’s Brent Martineau got a chance to go one-on-one with the Jacksonville Jaguars’ new head coach on Monday as the league meetings started to get underway.
They spoke about the free agent signings, quarterback Trevor Lawrence, as well as the potential of drafting WR/CB Travis Hunter.
Hunter is a player, Coen said, you have to be fluid with because “you don’t want to put him in a box.”
The Heisman Trophy winner is projected to go early in the 2025 NFL Draft, but the way teams will use him is still up for debate.
“He’s going to play both sides of the ball,” said Coen to Action Sports Jax. “There has to be an organizational buy in, everyone has to be involved.”
Hunter was a five-star prospect out of high school and played for Deion Sanders at Jackson State after flipping his initial commitment to Florida State. Hunter followed Sanders to Colorado and continued to star on both sides of the ball.
“What does he come in and do the best, you’re going to let him do both,” said Coen. “Let’s mold things to that.”
Coen and the Jaguars begin the offseason conditioning program on Monday in Jacksonville.
