FSU QB Jordan Travis hints at two teams he wants to play for

Quarterbacks aren’t put under the spotlight in drills at the NFL Scouting Combine until March 2, but they did juggle questions during press conferences on Friday.

FSU’s Jordan Travis was one of several quarterbacks to do so, and he hinted at two teams he’s hoping to be drafted by in the 2024 NFL Draft at the end of April.

Travis was asked if there are players outside his former teammates he wants to play with in the NFL and he gave two names off the two of his head — Davante Adams and George Pickens, per ESPN’s Brooke Pryor.

The two wide receivers play for the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers, meaning Travis would likely be happy if either team drafted him.

Good news for Travis: both teams plan to add to their quarterback rooms this offseason, and he provides an intriguing option.

The 23-year-old has thrown for 5,970 yards, 44 touchdowns and just seven interceptions over the past two seasons. He has also added 593 yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. Travis’ collegiate career met an abrupt end when he suffered a gruesome injury on Nov. 18 against North Alabama.

As a result, Travis currently ranks as Pro Football Focus’ ninth-best quarterback and No. 123 overall prospect on its big board.

That projects him to be a fourth-round draft pick, and it just so happens the Raiders (No. 113) and Steelers (Nos. 120 and 121) have three picks combined in the fourth round.

Las Vegas will try to make a splashier move at the position this offseason. However, the same may not be able to be said about Pittsburgh.

Steelers general manager Omar Khan said he has “full faith” in Kenny Pickett on Thursday, but they need to add to the room since he is the only quarterback currently under contract with the team in 2024.

That could set up the perfect scenario for Travis, who could serve as Pickett’s backup and have a chance to make his case as Pittsburgh’s starter if Pickett were to struggle.

Of course, Travis’ comments don’t mean he’s only interested in playing for the Raiders and Steelers, but they are certainly two teams to watch in the coming weeks.
