"Travis will be lucky to be drafted": Jordan Travis getting Deiric Jackson for NFL representation sparks mixed reactions online

Jordan Travis' draft declaration has been one of the talking points lately in the college football world. The quarterback had a brilliant 2023 season with Florida State, leading them to an undefeated regular season. His injury was said to be responsible for Florida State missing the College Football Playoff.

Ahead of the NFL draft, Travis has signed with popular agent Deiric Jackson. An NFLPA-certified agent and the owner and CEO of Legacy Sports Advisor, Jackson represents a host of NFL players, including Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback Anthony Richardson.

Jordan Travis' agreement with agent Deiric Jackson and Legacy Sports Advisor undoubtedly marks a big step for the quarterback's professional future. However, there are a lot of mixed reactions to the quarterback's standing ahead of the draft.

Let's examine some of the online reactions.

Jordan Travis' draft projection

Jordan Travis has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the last couple of seasons in college football. His progression has played a role in Florida State's resurgence as a program. The Seminoles (13-1) ended the 2023 season with the Atlantic Coast Conference title.

Without a doubt, Travis became a better player in the backfield during 2023. He demonstrated an exceptional ability to improvise, creating plays under pressure with composure and vision. He also showed effectiveness even though he was operating behind an average offensive line.

Considering the amount of quarterback talents in the upcoming draft, Travis should find it difficult to be selected in the early rounds. His age and size are also expected to impact his draft stock as teams will be looking to draft a more reliable prospect as a franchise quarterback.

In all likelihood, Travis is expected to be a Day 3 pick during the draft event in April. Many draft experts have projected him to be a fifth- or sixth-round selection.
