The Jacksonville Jaguars’ head coach Liam Coen admitted he is still unsure whether cornerback Travis Hunter actually secured the ball after his first NFL interception.
During a recent game, Hunter’s interception sparked confusion on the field, with reports suggesting a ball boy may have taken possession of the ball instead of the player. The incident has led to a minor dispute between player Hines‑Allen and the ball boy, which the coaching staff is working to resolve.
Coen has said that the situation is being sorted out by the Jaguars, but has not confirmed whether Hunter ended up with the actual ball or if it was mistakenly taken by a ball boy.
Hunter’s first interception was a highlight of the game, but the uncertainty over the ball’s ownership has become a talking point for the team’s front office and coaching staff.
While the Jaguars continue to investigate the matter, the incident underscores the importance of clear communication and ball‑handling protocols during high‑pressure moments on the field.
