**Channing Crowder** (0:30)
Yes, sir, The Pivot's in Duuval.

**Ryan Clark** (0:35)
It's the city where Freddie T gained fame. And today, y'all, it's a special drop. We're sitting down with one of the most unique players in the NFL, former Heisman Trophy winner and Jacksonville Jaguars star, Travis Hunter. After going through an extensive rehab process and getting himself fully healthy, Travis made it clear he doesn't just want to contribute. He believes that his greatest impact comes from playing both sides of the football. He's leaning on the veteran leadership in both rooms, embracing the expectations that come along with being the face of the franchise. And you know what happens if Trav gets beat at practice. He's going to hear it in both meeting rooms. But what's driving Travis now goes beyond football. It's about his wife and his son. It's about his family and the purpose that they've given him.

**Channing Crowder** (1:16)
That's his new wife.

**Ryan Clark** (1:17)
And that's why you're not going to see Travis comfortable sitting on the sideline. He doesn't want to watch. He wants to play every single snap, never taking a playoff. Even when he's put under pressure, he's just not giving away the answer to whether or not he believes he's a better corner or wide receiver, because the dude truly wants to do both. That's also why Trevor Lawrence and Liam Coen continue to stay on him, because before anything else, mastering the playbook and knowing exactly what to do is what's going to allow Travis to make the impact he knows he's capable of. So don't expect to see a lot of shots of Travis sitting on the bench. He's going to be on the field.
Every single snap, they let him. The Pivot has stopped in Duval before to sit down with incredible people, but this time we have a great young man, an elite competitor, and one of the most fascinating players in the game.

**Channing Crowder** (2:08)
So Duuval, let's get into it.

**Ryan Clark** (2:12)
Now, we have Travis Hunter.

**Channing Crowder** (2:15)
Can I hold the baby? See, I told you.

**Fred Taylor** (2:17)
Oh.

**Channing Crowder** (2:18)
She said yes.

**Channing Crowder** (2:19)
I will be so loud during this interview. I got to wake that baby up.

**Travis Hunter** (2:22)
Thank you.

**Channing Crowder** (2:26)
He's like a real-life baby whisperer.

**Ryan Clark** (2:29)
Bro, he's a sweater guy. Every baby likes him, bruh.

**Travis Hunter** (2:31)
They do.

**Ryan Clark** (2:31)
What's up, my dog?

**Channing Crowder** (2:32)
Okay, we've been in the gym.

**Travis Hunter** (2:35)
What's up, man?

**Fred Taylor** (2:36)
Good to see you. Oh, y'all want him to be...

**Ryan Clark** (2:40)
Hey, Channing, you already know, the fast ones are automatically bad when they were little kids.

**Channing Crowder** (2:44)
Yeah, because that's how they get there, to get out of the scape. They had escaped them butt-whoops.

**Ryan Clark** (2:49)
All the fast ones?

**Travis Hunter** (2:50)
You don't want to know how fast I had to get up out of there.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:52)
I already know what neighborhood you grew up in, too.

**Travis Hunter** (2:54)
Hit that door. Hit that bed.

**Fred Taylor** (2:56)
What?

**Ryan Clark** (2:58)
I knew you was in trouble.

**Channing Crowder** (2:59)
You can catch me in that street. You can catch me in that living room.

**Ryan Clark** (3:01)
Bro, I ran from my daddy one time. I jumped over the bed. And he jumped over the bed, too.

**Travis Hunter** (3:06)
That's what happened to my cousin. I got hit. I don't even know how that happened.

**Ryan Clark** (3:11)
Oh, man. Travis Hunter, man.

**Channing Crowder** (3:13)
Welcome back, man.

**Ryan Clark** (3:14)
Excited to do this again. Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark, Pivot fam. We appreciate y'all pivoting with us. Man, I want to get into this, Trav, man. I remember watching you on October 19th. I think you had 14 targets, something like that. Eight catches over 100 yards, 34 yards touched. I felt it coming around for you, right? We were getting to see the talent show.
How difficult was it for, when it felt like you were getting your footing, to then be injured and have to miss the rest of the season?
