Names and Numbers after Week Three in the NFL

— Travis Hunter, WR/DB, Jacksonville … In Jacksonville’s 17-10 win over Houston, Hunter had one catch for 21 yards, to go with six tackles. Without meaning to, Hunter became part of a controversy this week. Coach Prime spoke on Jacksonville’s use of Hunter on the New Heights Podcast with the Kelce brothers stating the Jaguars “aren’t using him enough” … which of course brought about a “mind your own business” backlash from pundits.

— Shedeur Sanders, QB, Cleveland Browns … Cleveland won its first game of the season, beating Green Bay, 13-10. Brown quarterback Joe Flacco went 21-for-36 for only 142 yards, but is firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback. In addition to his comments on the New Heights podcast about Travis, Coach Prime also made the following comment about his son: “I’ve never sat on the bench and thought, ‘Wow, I learned a lot today”. As you might have guessed, this sparked more controversy.
Never a dull moment with Coach Prime …
