Jaguars pass on Travis Hunter for head-scratching pick in NFL Draft do-over

The Jacksonville Jaguars had a wide array of options with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. They could've rolled with defensive tackle Mason Graham or gone offense with wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. In the end, Jacksonville chose to trade up to the No. 2 spot to select two-way star Travis Hunter.

At the time of the pick, the Jags justified giving up a massive haul for the former Heisman Trophy winner because they saw him as a game-altering talent. However, he got off to a slow start to his rookie campaign, and a knee injury ultimately cut his rookie season short.
