Travis Hunter Debuts, Kem Littel Breaks 70-Yard Record

  • Travis Hunter made his debut in the NFL, playing for the Jaguars
  • Kem Littel set a record, breaking the 70-yard mark
  • The Jaguars are hoping for improved results in the new season

Travis Hunter, selected as the second overall pick in the 2025 draft, officially debuted in the NFL, playing for Jacksonville Jaguars in a match against Pittsburgh Steelers on September 9, 2025. In this match, Hunter started at the receiver position, playing 92% of the first-team snaps (11 out of 12), and made his first two receptions at 9 yards.

On the opening drive, Hunter received a pass at 3 yards from Trevor Lawrence, and later another reception at 6 yards, which helped establish the field. Hunter did not participate in the first team’s drive, but played 100% of the snaps with the second team.

Additionally, kicker Kem Littel amazed everyone, breaking the 70-yard mark, which has become a record for preseason games, although the official NFL record belongs to Justin Tucker, who made a 66-yard field goal in 2021. Littel scored a field goal from 14-9 before the break.

The Jaguars are hoping that new talents, like Hunter, will help the team improve on last year's result of 4-13. Hunter is ready for the challenges ahead, including the tough weather conditions in Jacksonville, about which he commented during training.
