Jaguars GM James Gladstone’s rant may have tipped Travis Hunter hand

James Gladstone’s agreement to take Jacksonville to Travis Hunter will be tried in years, not in days.

However, the 34 -year -old Jaguars general manager obtains some points for trust after his speech introduces Hunter to Jacksonville Media.

“While we sat here, Travis Hunter is Jacksonville Jaguar,” Gladstone told journalists. “And what really comes to mind, correct, thinking about the sport of football and the power of the game itself, is the ability to ignite the belief. Believe in ourselves, the belief in others, the belief in achieving what many consider impossible.

“Travis Hunter, Hey, embodies belief. He is a strange person, he is a strange player. But he is also a reminder that football limits were built to be challenged. And the decision to select that it was a real statement. A statement of how we are what we are. What we are.

“And we want it to be nothing more than him. Because when it is, it raises the space around him. From the football field to the city to the football game itself. Travis Hunter is the one we have bone, therefore, to be key and title a man of the hour.”

After that launch of Don Draper, the mass package that Gladstone gave Cleveland, including General Selection No. 5, General Selection No. 36 and General Selection No. 126 in this Draft, in addition to Jacksonville’s first round selection next year, seems reasonable.

It seems that the Jaguars will play Hunter on both sides of the ball, although it is not clear how their instantaneous count in defense will be.

“He is someone who greets a first round draft selection as an open receiver and is worthy of a first round draft selection as a corner,” Gladstone said. “Certainly I look forward to each of those elements that are shown over the next few years while he is under his rookie contract. But we are excited to simply put him in the boat, so to speak.”
