The Jacksonville Jaguars, who had the fifth pick, traded for the second pick with the Cleveland Browns to select Hunter.

Hunter is highly valued by the Jaguars since they traded their No. 5 pick this year, as well as their second and fourth-round picks, along with their first-round pick in 2026.

Hunter began his college career at Jackson State before moving to the Colorado Buffaloes after his freshman year. He is a versatile player who thrived as a wide receiver and a cornerback during his college career.

The Florida native made college football history by becoming the first player ever to win the Chuck Bednarik Award, given to the nation’s top defensive player, and the Fred Biletnikoff Award, which honours the best wide receiver in the country, in the same season.

Hunter finished the 2024 season with several other awards, including the Heisman Trophy, Walter Camp Award, the AP College Football Player of the Year and the SN College Football Player of the Year.

By the time he left college football, he was a unanimous All-American.
