Aaron Rodgers is wearing a new ring out ... no, he didn't win a Super Bowl this past season -- it's actually a simple band on THAT finger.

Star Jacksonville defensive end Arik Armstead is thrilled the Jaguars got two-way phenom Travis Hunter ... telling TMZ Sports he's super pumped to welcome his new teammate -- even if the Heisman winner doesn't spend much time on his side of the ball.

"I think this is rare air," Armstead -- who actually announced the big pick at the draft -- told us. "We have a player here who would have been a first-round pick as a receiver or a cornerback. And, you know, that's very unlikely that a prospect could be a first-round pick at two different positions."

So, where do you utilize a guy who is awesome on offense and defense? We asked Arik.
