Jordan Travis thinks about being Jets' QB of future 'a lot,' but focus is on getting healthy, better

While Aaron Rodgers isn't expected to have any restrictions for organized team activities, the Jets are hoping their younger quarterback waiting in the wings is able to return for training camp.

Rookie Jordan Travis, whose college career at Florida State ended with a broken leg in November, is still recovering from his injury with an eye on July and August for a return to action.

"I feel great. Just focusing on today," Travis said in his Saturday news conference when asked about being ready for camp. "Every day I got rehab I'm just giving my best. I'm just trying to get ready as fast as possible. Obviously, that's the goal, but obviously I want to be 100 percent too. Yeah, just trying to get 100 percent, getting better every day."

When he does finally take the field, he'll do so as the No. 3 QB behind Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor, eager to pick their mind to quicken his development in the NFL.

"I'm gonna ask a lot of questions for sure, because obviously you have two great quarterbacks ahead of you," he said. "I've been looking up to them for a long time and watching them for a long time, so having an opportunity to pick their brains ever single day. See how they treat their teammates. See how they carry themselves off and on the field, so I look forward to it for sure."

And whatever he gains by osmosis could potentially pay dividends for the Jets down the road.

Unlike three years ago, when New York missed on Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft and started him from Day 1, the Jets now have a future Hall of Famer under center to teach their prospective QB of the future the ropes.

A low-risk investment as a fifth-round pick, Travis isn't guaranteed to end up taking the reins when Rodgers eventually lets them go.
