Jordan Travis defends former New York Jets teammate Aaron Rodgers amidst free agency

Former Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis opined on the free agency of his former New York Jets teammate, QB Aaron Rodgers.

After a video appeared on social media of a TMZ reporter questioning the former NFL MVP about his business on the West Coast, Travis responded by saying that the "narrative" surrounding Rodgers is "crazy."

It's been since November of 2023 that anyone has seen Travis play or practice on a football field.

In November of '24, former New York Jets interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich spoke to the press during one of his media availabilities. During the end of the press conference, Ulbrich was asked about the status of Jordan Travis, who went down with the gruesome lower leg injury that ended his season and collegiate career.

He was selected by the Jets in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft (No. 171 overall).

Ulbrich noted that he’s been great for the organization during his recovery process which has been slower than expected despite the traumatic injury.

"Yeah, he's still working his butt off. Great attitude, you know, I just, I try to make it a point every day to check in with him, see how he’s doing, he's doing good, he's in a good mental space," Ulbrich said. "Physically, I know it's not gone exactly as they thought it would. So still struggling through with a few things here and there. But great attitude, great approach. He's here every day, working. "

During his time at FSU, Travis accounted for 8,644 passing yards and 65 touchdowns through the air. On the ground, he rushed for over 1,900 yards and 31 touchdowns. He even added a receiving touchdown against Syracuse in 2022.

He will go down as the quarterback who initiated the revival of Florida State football in the 2020s.
