Deion Sanders upset with Jacksonville Jaguars over Travis Hunter issue originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Deion Sanders is not happy about the Jacksonville Jaguars not reaching out to him about how to coach cornerback and wide receiver Travis Hunter.

Of course, Hunter played for Sanders at Colorado State, and while you would think the Jags would have interest in getting Sanders' input, that has not been the case. Sanders said so recently on "The Barbershop" podcast. “Even a guy like Travis Hunter, being drafted to Jacksonville, and I’ve had him for the last three,” Deion said.

“Don’t you think you would want to talk to me to let me know, to ask me how — what gets him going and what backs him off and, and what, like, you wouldn’t want to know that? ” Deion mentioned earlier this month how the Browns never reached out to him about how to coach Shedeur last year, but he did say he had a meeting scheduled about his son with new head coach Todd Monken in 2026. Hunter was taken with the No.

2 overall pick by the Jaguars in 2025 after a trade up, but he had what can best be described as a disappointing season. Hunter recorded 298 receiving yards and one touchdowns in seven games and saw his season cut short due to a knee injury . He did post solid coverage numbers, though, with a completion rate allowed of 50% and a passer rating of 68.
