Travis Hunter was slammed for his 'cringe' dance moves on Monday night as he got ready for the Jaguars' matchup against the Chiefs.
Jacksonville welcomed Kansas City to town for a primetime matchup, but the rookie looked relaxed as cameras caught him busting a few moves during pregame warmups.
However, NFL fans were left baffled by the sequence as they accused him of lacking focus.
'This dude more concerned about his tik tok dances than his on-field performance…Hunter is headed for BUST territory,' one claimed.
'This dude still dancing??? Gosh what is big deal with him? Can it be about his game? Or is this dancing with the stars?,' another said.
'When is bro gonna stop dancing and do something since being drafted?,' a third said.

And a fourth teased: 'Incoming 1 catch for 4 yards and and almost pass break up.'
The dual-threat star has been used a bit curiously by the Jaguars thus far as he's split his time between receiver and cornerback.
While many expected him to 'major' in one position and play more sporadically on the other side of the ball, Hunter has been something of a part-time player on both ends.
Entering Monday night, the No. 2 overall pick had played just 58 percent of the offensive snaps and 39 percent of the defensive snaps.
And his receiving impact had been minimal, as he was averaging just 29.5 yards per game.
He received just one target in the first half against Kansas City, though he turned heads with an acrobatic 44-yard catch in the third quarter.

Jacksonville paid a hefty price to snag Hunter in this year's draft, trading the fifth-overall pick, their second- and fourth-round selections, as well as the team's first rounder in 2026 for the right to move up and take Hunter.
And amid a bit of a slow start for the player, Jacksonville coach Liam Coen said late last month that 'we can probably do a better job of helping him in some ways.'
'We had a great talk with Trav after this past game in terms of just man, like, alright, how can we help you and [where can we] put you, because what is he learning?,' Coen said.
'It’s a lot. So, we’ve got to, I think, be a little bit more diligent in terms of putting him in positions to maybe not have to do as many moving parts so that we can just let him go play.'
