The Jets have their top two quarterbacks set for the 2024 season with Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor. But drafting a developmental quarterback on day three may not be out of the question. According to a recent report, the Jets will be doing their due diligence on a potential Heisman Trophy candidate before his injury.
Per Logan Robinson of SI FanNation’s NoleGameday, the Jets have scheduled a pre-draft visit with Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis in the coming weeks.
Travis was a candidate for the Heisman Trophy with 2,756 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and just two interceptions in 11 games for the undefeated Seminoles before his season-ending leg injury. He still finished 5th in voting for the award.
Travis should be good to go for the season and the possibility of the Jets taking Travis on the third day of the draft should at least be considered. The Jets could bring him along as he recovers from the leg injury and there would be no pressure to rush him back with Rodgers and Taylor in the mix. It will be interesting to see, in general, if the Jets choose to draft a quarterback late, but if they do, Travis would be a very intriguing prospect.
