Jacksonville Jaguars' Travis Hunter, Trevor Lawrence Go Viral With Bahamas Handshake
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunters NFL journey continues to build momentum, and now, hes connecting with the teams most important player.
In the newly released offseason workout video, filmed in the Bahamas and posted to YouTube by Jacksonville wide receiver Dyami Brown, the former Colorado Buffaloes star is seen sharing a lighthearted, choreographed handshake with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
The shake kicks off with a somewhat typical dap up, then flows into a synchronized wave and into a playful snorkel movecomplete with Hunter and Lawrence both plugging their nosesand finishes with a shoulder-to-shoulder bump.
Its silly, energetic, and pure Travis Hunter.
But for Colorado football fans tracking Hunters transition from college phenom to NFL rookie, its another reassuring sign that his trademark energy is already rubbing off on those around him.
The moment is part of the same video that recently went viralshowcasing Hunter bonding with wide receivers Brown and Brian Thomas Jr.
during workouts and downtime.
However, this brief exchange with Lawrence shows that the franchise quarterback is already embracing the Hunter experienceand together, the former No.
1 and No.
2 picks might create the one-two combination that Jacksonville fans have been waiting for.
Lawrence, the former No.
1 overall pick, enters a pivotal year in his NFL career, and the Jaguars are aiming to rebound from a disappointing 2024 season.
Hunter, selected No.
2 overall, is expected to contribute primarily at wide receiver as he eases into defensive snaps and could quickly emerge as one of Lawrences favorite targetsif their chemistry continues to develop.
A process that may already be well underway.
Hes got a lot of juice.
He can run all day.
A lot of energy.
I love it.
Good energy.
High motor.
Hes like a kidhe can just run around all day.
He doesnt get tired, it seems like, Lawrence said of Hunter during OTAs in May.
As far as just talent, it speaks for itself.
Ball skills, run after the catch.
Hes very explosive.
I didnt realize how explosive he was in and out of cuts.
Hes impressive to watch.
Ive gotten to connect a couple of times.
Its only going to get better and betterweve only worked together a couple of days now.
So weve got some time to really dial in on the details.
For Colorado fans, seeing Hunter adjust so quickly is both satisfying and emotional.
His time in Boulder was more than just a run at the Heisman Trophyit was about the way he lifted those around him.
That same dynamic already seems to be unfolding in Jacksonville.
Hunters early presence hasn't gone unnoticed inside the Jaguars locker room.
Linebacker Joshua Hines-Allen recently highlighted the rookies versatility during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show .
I think he has a great career ahead of him on both sides of the ball, Hines-Allen said.
Is he the best DB? Is he the best wide receiver? Who knowsbut is he a great playmaker on both sides of the ball? Yes, he is.
