Postgame Press Conference


Jacksonville Jaguars 26 - Carolina Panthers 10

Q. Playing both sides of the ball after the game and after the game doing a lap around the stadium, was it everything you hoped, thought it would be?

TRAVIS HUNTER: Yeah, I was just excited and ready to go to go out and win with my team and just bring the energy. Like I say, every day, every time you're interviewing me, I'm trying to bring the energy, bring the guys up, and make sure we stay true to ourselves and just be the team we knew we can be.

Q. How do you think you did offensively today? Coach Coen was in and said you ran all the right routes and all that other stuff, a couple of catches. How do you feel like you played today?

TRAVIS HUNTER: I did my job. That was the main focus in me doing my job. I did what they asked me to do, and I knew I could do more and knew I could do better.

Q. You ran for over 200 yards. How pleasing was that for the offensive performance on the ground?

TRAVIS HUNTER: That's great. You can run the ball, and then they have to come up and play man and press us. Then we get to throw the ball, so it was great that we was able to run the ball right through them.

Q. How cool was it to seeing BTJ get the reverse touchdown run?

TRAVIS HUNTER: I was on the sideline happy because I knew it was his play and I knew he was going to get the ball and score. I was definitely excited for him. He forgot to do the dance, but it's all good.

Q. How hard is it or is it easy for you to be so involved on every play and bring so much energy even when you're not on the field? Because you're like the first one out there to celebrate with everybody.

TRAVIS HUNTER: It's not hard. You just have to go out there and just be myself. I've been doing this for a long time. My job is to go out there and bring the energy and do my job.

Q. And Jaycee Horn made a great one-handed catch, but was that a touchdown if he doesn't get that?

TRAVIS HUNTER: If he don't get up and make a great play that he did, yeah, I think that was a touchdown.

Q. Travis, as you reflect back on your first game in the NFL, are there any particular memories or highlights that really stand out in your mind from today?

TRAVIS HUNTER: We went out there and won. We won the game. We was able to take -- my first game was a W, so that's exciting for me.

Q. The haircut wasn't like a rookie hazing thing, was it?

TRAVIS HUNTER: No, no, I chose to do this myself where.

Q. Why?

TRAVIS HUNTER: It was just time. Time to let it go. New me, new person. Welcome to a new chapter in my life. Just chop it off.

Q. Sometimes you let it go, it doesn't am could back.

Q. Before the game you came over and had a little moment with your grandmother. I know there were other members of your family in the stadium. Just what did that mean seeing them here and being able to play your first professional game in front of her and in front of family?

TRAVIS HUNTER: It's just I grew up here in South Florida, so it was great for me to be able to show my grandma. She was the first person to sign me up for football, so her seeing me on the big stage was an exciting moment for me.

Q. On defense it seemed like guys were flying around. What are your thoughts on what against is showing today?

TRAVIS HUNTER: That's what we do in practice. We do it every day in practice. Just fly around. Big emphasis, everybody get to the ball, 11 guys to the ball. Tips and overthrows, we have to get those, and that's what we've been doing.

Q. Travis, how abnormal was this with just a few defensive snaps? I think you may have had six. Usually you're playing almost every play. We understand what your new role is going to be like, but what was it like over the last four hours?

TRAVIS HUNTER: I just leave that up to the coaches. I just go out there when they call my name. When they call my name, I just go out and do my job.
