Jordan Travis has pondered someday replacing Aaron Rodgers. Health is focus now for Jets rookie QB

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Jordan Travis still needs some time to recover from the horrific leg injury that once put his football career on hold.

Patience is something Travis has perfected, especially in the past few months.

The former Florida State star, who was taken by the New York Jets in the fifth round of the NFL draft last week, will spend his rookie season on a team with Aaron Rodgers as its starting quarterback.

And he has considered the possibility he could someday end up replacing the four-time NFL MVP.

“Yes sir, I do think about that a lot,” Travis said Saturday after the Jets’ second day of rookie minicamp practice. “But right now, I’m just focused where my feet are, just getting healthy, getting everybody around me better, being a great teammate.”

Things were shaping up to be a dream season for Travis and the Seminoles — until Nov. 18, 2023.
