Travis Hunter didn\u2019t start a game on both offense and defense during the NFL preseason, but Elijah Chatman did.<\/p>\n
While Hunter is the two-way phenom and Jaguars rookie whose Week 1 debut is much anticipated, Chatman is just hoping for an elevation from the Giants practice squad Sunday against the Commanders after he was the team\u2019s most surprising cut at last week\u2019s trim from 90 to 53 players.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe does what he does,\u201d Chatman laughed when he was mentioned alongside the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 2 pick in April\u2019s draft, \u201cand I\u2019m going to do what I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
It initially looked like Chatman had climbed off the preseason roster bubble by returning to his SMU roots and moonlighting at fullback when not lined up at defensive tackle. He played 38 percent of the regular-season defensive snaps as an undrafted rookie last season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travis Hunter didn\u2019t start a game on both offense and defense during the NFL preseason, but Elijah Chatman…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,1242,593,85,735,1236],"class_list":["post-110013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-new-york-giants","tag-nfl","tag-sports","tag-sports-plus","tag-training-camp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
