There's a good "AI assisted" article posted on NFL-dot-com about Travis Hunter.

Here's a fluffed-down version of the article: (with the help of AI Nate Kessler)

Travis Hunter Milestone Watch: 20 Records Jaguars Rookie Can Potentially Set/Break as a Two-Way Player
Published: May 15, 2025
By Dante Koplowitz-Fleming, NFL Researcher

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter, a WR/CB hybrid selected second overall in the 2025 NFL Draft, is already being compared to two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani for his versatility. Jaguars GM James Gladstone believes Hunter can be a transformational player.

Here are 20 potential milestones Hunter could realistically achieve:

1. Play at least 20 snaps on offense and defense in a single game
Last done: Nobody (since 2016, per Next Gen Stats).
No player has hit the 20-snap mark on both sides of the ball in the NGS era.

2. Play more than 100 total snaps in a game

Last done: Nobody (since 2016).
Hunter averaged 111.5 snaps per game in college, most in FBS history.

3. Start on offense and defense in the same game
Last done: Antonio Cromartie in 2012.
Last rookie to do it: Spencer Larsen in 2008.

4. Start on offense and defense multiple times in a season

Last done: Deion Sanders (8 games) in 1996.

5. Run 2,000+ yards in a single game (measured snap-to-whistle)
Current record: 1,908 yards by Zay Jones in 2018.

6. Play 1,200+ snaps from scrimmage in a season
Last done: Nobody (since 2016).
Hunter played 1,460 snaps in 13 games at Colorado.

7. Record at least 1 receiving TD and 1 interception in a game
Last done: Brian Dawkins in 2002.

8. Record 100+ receiving yards and 1+ interception in a game
Last done: Keyshawn Johnson in the 1998 playoffs.

9. Record 1,000+ receiving yards and 4+ interceptions in a season
Last done: Don Hutson in 1942.

10. Intercept a No. 1 overall pick and catch a TD from one in a career
Last done: Tony Scheffler.
Last to do both in same game: Nobody.

11. Win Offensive or Defensive Rookie of the Year (or both)
No Jaguars player has ever won OROY or DROY.
No player has ever won both awards.

12. Record 10+ receiving TDs and 5+ interceptions in a career
Last done: Mike Vrabel.

13. Record 2+ receiving TDs and 1+ interception in a single game
Last done: Leon Hart in 1951.

14. Record 50+ receiving yards and 50+ interception return yards in a game
Last done: Deion Sanders in 1998.

15. Record 1 receiving TD and 1 pick-six in the same game
Last done: Tom Fears in 1948.

16. Lead team in both receiving TDs and INTs in a season
Last done: Gene Schroeder in 1951.

17. Make a Pro Bowl on offense and defense in a career
Last done: Nobody (since 1950).

18. Lead the NFL in receiving yards and interceptions in the same season
Never done.
Closest: Mal Kutner in 1946 (3rd in receiving, tied 4th in INTs).

19. Win both Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year at any point
Never done.
OPOY and DPOY began in early 1970s.

20. Win NFL MVP as a WR or DB
Never done.
Only defensive MVPs: Lawrence Taylor (1986), Alan Page (1971).
Only kicker MVP: Mark Moseley (1982).
No WR has finished top 2 since Jerry Rice in 1995.
