Tyreek Hill mocks Travis Hunter; Jacksonville Jaguars rookie thrown into spotlight

During a recent livestream, Tyreek Hill, never one to shy away from controversy, took a not-so-subtle jab at Travis Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ top 2025 NFL Draft pick.

When asked about the two-way Colorado standout, Hill quipped, “He going to be ass,” before quickly clarifying that he was joking and actually sees Hunter as a future “dawg” in the league.Whether Hill was trolling for laughs or testing the rookie’s toughness, the clip went viral almost instantly. NFL fans flooded social media with mixed reactions—some calling it classic Hill humor, others criticizing the All-Pro wide receiver for taking a swipe at a young player yet to play a single down in the NFL.

What makes Hill’s comment hit harder is the irony. He was once dismissed as a “project” too, drafted in the fifth round, used mainly as a return man in Kansas City, and doubted by many. Fast forward to today, and he’s not just a six-time All-Pro but also one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the NFL. If anyone knows what it takes to beat the odds, it’s Hill.Travis Hunter, however, enters the league with a unique résumé.

At Jackson State and Colorado, he played both wide receiver and cornerback, dazzling with elite athleticism, raw talent, and positional versatility. Now under head coach Liam Coen, the Jaguars plan to use Hunter’s dynamic skill set creatively possibly as a game-breaking weapon in the screen game, deep routes, and special teams.Still, Hill’s critique—joking or not—puts added pressure on Hunter to perform. The expectations in Jacksonville are sky-high, especially after investing a first-round pick in a player some scouts still see as a developmental talent.Also Read: Miami Dolphins are counting on Zach Wilson as Tua Tagovailoa’s backup despite past strugglesIn a league where narratives are built before careers even begin, Hill’s viral moment could either become fuel for Hunter’s breakout or a headline he’s forced to answer for.
