Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers will step back into the starting quarterback role for the New York Jets in 2024. The star quarterback's 2023 season came to an abrupt end after just four plays, when he tore his Achilles tendon.

Rodgers eventually underwent a "speed bridge" procedure, which was designed to expedite the recovery process. He ultimately missed the entire season, but the Jets hope to have a healthy Rodgers for the upcoming 2024 campaign.

The Jets drafted former Florida State star Jordan Travis in the fifth round of last month's NFL Draft. Travis suffered a serious leg injury in November, which ended his college football career. The Jets signed veteran signal caller Tyrod Taylor in March. While Taylor will likely serve as the backup quarterback in 2024, Travis sees himself as the eventual successor to Rodgers.

Travis suggested that the prospect of being the Jets' starter one day has crossed his mind on more than one occasion.

"I do think about that a lot," Travis acknowledged, via ESPN, "but right now I'm just focused where my feet are, just getting healthy and getting everybody around me better, being a great teammate."
