QB Jordan Travis Sees Himself As Aaron Rodgers' Successor

May 5, 2024 1:59 PM

The first goal is to play football again. After that, New York Jets rookie Jordan Travis -- only five months removed from a gruesome leg injury that ended his college career -- hopes to become Aaron Rodgers' heir apparent at quarterback.

It might take some time before that happens, but the former Florida State star acknowledged that the idea of succeeding 40-year-old Rodgers has crossed his mind.

"Yes, sir, I do think about that a lot," Travis said Saturday at the Jets' rookie minicamp. "But right now, I'm just focused on where my feet are, just getting healthy and getting everybody around me better, being a great teammate."

The Atlanta Falcons tried to trade back into the first round of last week's NFL Draft after taking Michael Penix, Jr. with the eighth overall pick, according to a report.

Specifically, the Falcons wanted to move back into the teens for UCLA pass rusher Laiatu Latu. He ultimately went No. 15 overall to the Indianapolis Colts.

The New York Jets' 2024 NFL Draft documentary on YouTube shows general manager Joe Douglas getting off the phone with the Falcons and saying, "They want to come back up to 10, so they want eight and 10."

Alabama safety Jaylen Key said it was "pretty nerve-wracking" waiting seven hours Saturday to hear his name called on Day 3 of the NFL draft. When he learned he had been picked by the New York Jets, he knew exactly what that meant.

He was Mr. Irrelevant.

"It means everything; that's part of the title," Key said on a video conference with New York-area reporters. "You just have to take it and lean into it. For me, I'm definitely going to lean into every bit of it. I'm Mr. Irrelevant this year, and we're going to make something shake, for sure."
