Travis is a great runner from under center and does a fantastic job of protecting the football. Over his past two seasons at Florida State he tossed 44 touchdown passes to just 7 interceptions while completing 64% of his passes.

A late-season ankle injury impacted the quarterback’s draft status and likely dropped in a couple of rounds which the Jets will hope pays off in the future.

With two veteran quarterbacks to learn from in Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor, this could be the first time in years that Gang Green takes the time needed to develop a young quarterback.
