when Aaron roders went down four plays into the 2023 NFL season the Jets did not have a workable Plan B so the defense did its best while the offense sputtered at best with Zack Wilson Trevor Simeon and Tim Bole as Rogers Replacements the Jets had no shot with that and they knew it so they made a smart pick with the addition of Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis had Travis not suffered a brutal leg injury against North Alabama on November 18th 2023 he could have made the discussion about second tier quarterbacks in this draft pretty interesting not to mention the college football playoff landscape last season when healthy Travis completed 207 of 325 passes for 2755 yards 20 touchdowns two interceptions and a passer rating of 108.4 and that low interception total wasn't the result of a dink and dunk mentality Travis completed 18 passes of 20 or more air yards last season on 58 attempts for 591 yards three touchdowns and no interceptions Jordan is a dynamic player and obviously a tough injury for him and the team last year but Dynamic player head coach Robert Salah said he came on a 30 visit just getting a chance to spend time with him and get to know him as a person he's a special guy you can see why teammates gravitate towards him and why he's one of the more respected guys when you talk to other players at Florida state so we're just happy to add him he's coming to a great situation with some unbelievable veteran leadership and kind of similar situation as first round offensive tackle U fashu but even at a different level with the two vets we have in the room so really cool opportunity for him to learn develop and just showcase his ability the Jets certainly deserve an opportunity to see what Aaron Rogers can do for their offense but Travis presents a better escape hatch if needed as does veteran Ty Taylor
