FSU football fans ecstatic Jordan Travis drafted in fifth round by NY Jets

FSU football fans had to wait longer than expected for an FSU player to hear their name called in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, it couldn't be any sweeter to know it was Jordan Travis getting the call in the fifth round by the New York Jets with the No. 171 pick overall. He joins former FSU standout defensive end Jermaine Johnson in the Big Apple!

FSU Fans were ecstatic to see Jordan Travis get drafted

Jordan Travis might be the biggest turnaround I've ever seen from a college quarterback. Travis went from someone that no one gave a shot of getting drafted just a few years ago to someone critics began to question why he was still on the board in the fifth round. I have no doubt he would have gotten drafted higher had he not suffered the injury that ended his FSU career late in the 2023 season. Travis went from an athlete who ran around and created plays to a full-fledged quarterback who looked to pass first and run second at the end of his FSU career. He goes into a great situation with the NY Jets. He can sit behind veterans Aaron Rogers and Tyrod Taylor for a year or two to gain valuable experience for potentially taking over a team, who has several nice pieces. Travis ranks among the all-time greats at FSU on and off the field and is largely responsible for the major turnaround in the program after several dark seasons.  

Jordan Travis is the seventh FSU football player drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. He's the first FSU quarterback selected since Jameis Winston was the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Mike Norvell and the coaching staff deserve a lot of credit for developing that young man. However, it's a testament to all the hard work he put into the process as well.
