New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh sees their fifth-round draft pick Jordan Travis as a moldable quarterback that has a world of talent for him to work with right out of the gate.
Saleh spoke at a Jets press conference on May 3 (h/t Matthew Postins of Fan Nation’s Jets Country) and had this to say about Travis, who he likened unto “kind of a ball of clay:”
“He’s a tremendously talented young man and extremely gifted, especially athletically. He’s got a lot of work to do,” Saleh raved.
“He hasn’t even scratched the surface. He’s winning games doing things that were just pure athleticism, and if we can tie the football part to it, I think we’ve got ourselves a damn good player.”
