Travis Hunter finally got into the end zone.

Hunter split his time between offense and defense for the most part after the Jaguars selected him second overall in the draft. On Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, Hunter was primarily used on offense in an attempt to add a spark to the Jaguars’ offense.

He led the team with six catches after the touchdown. He finished with eight catches for 101 yards as the Rams won the game 35-7.
