Former FSU Star Jordan Travis Among Highest Career Grades for Quarterbacks in NFL Draft

Last season, Jordan Travis solidified himself as one of the best quarterbacks in all of college football. While leading his team to a perfect 11-0 record before his season-ending leg injury, Travis had the Florida State Seminoles in a position to play in the College Football Playoff.

Through 11 games in the 2023 college football season, Travis posted 2,756 passing yards and 20 touchdowns with just two interceptions as he completed 64 percent of his passes. He added 176 yards on the ground with seven additional touchdowns. 

As a result of the quarterback's incredible campaign, Travis finished No. 5 in the voting for the Heisman Trophy, which only offers more validation for the sixth-year quarterback. 

Travis joins a 2024 NFL Draft class with plenty of talent at his position, but he has one of the best PFF grades over the course of his collegiate career out of all of the quarterbacks in the draft class.

USC's Caleb Williams, who won the Heisman during his second year of college football, played just three seasons and finished with a 93.6 career PFF grade, leading all quarterbacks in the draft. 

Travis had the fifth-best career PFF grade of all quarterbacks, as he finished with a 91.6 grade over the course of his six-year career. His career trajectory was a fun one, too, as the Seminoles spent one year at Louisville before transferring to his dream school of Florida State, where he led a program turnaround.

Ahead of Travis is Williams, North Carolina's Drake Maye, Washington's Michael Penix Jr., and LSU's Jayden Daniels. 

Travis finished his college football career with 8,715 passing yards, 66 touchdowns, and 20 interceptions while completing 62 percent of his career passes. He added 1,910 rushing yards and 31 rushing touchdowns in his six seasons of college football.

The former Seminole had one of the better college football careers of the draft-eligible quarterbacks, and his help in turning Florida State's program around in that time will have Seminole fans forever grateful.
