AFC Notes: Michael Onwenu, Jordan Travis, Dolphins, Jets, Patriots

Dolphins

The Dolphins selected fourth-round RB Jaylen Wright in the draft to complement RBs Raheem Mostert and Deโ€™Von Achane. Wright talked about his excitement to play with Miamiโ€™s playmakers and his role in the backfield.

โ€œBeing here with all of these guys, star players, players that I grew up watching, it just means a lot,โ€ Wright said, via Bobby Kownack of NFL.com. โ€œJust to be mentioned in the factor of having speed, that just means a lot to me. Iโ€™m just blessed to be here, and Iโ€™m excited for whatโ€™s coming for me.โ€

โ€œBoth of those guys, they are really good guys, great players. Iโ€™m excited just to be able to share the rock with them. Iโ€™m excited to be that trio that will be out there making a lot of plays this summer, this fall and this season.โ€

Jets

With quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor on the roster, fifth-round QB Jordan Travis isnโ€™t likely to see the field in 2024. Travis admitted he thinks about being Rodgersโ€™ successor but wants to contribute as a teammate for now.

โ€œI do think about that a lot, but right now Iโ€™m just focused on where my feet are โ€” getting healthy, getting everybody around me better, being a great teammate,โ€ Travis said, via Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post.

Patriots

Patriots OL Michael Onwenu believes heโ€™s heading into the season at right tackle.

โ€œThroughout the whole process, we spoke about me playing tackle. Even after I signed, that was still the same thing. So, under my notion, Iโ€™m playing right tackle,โ€ Onwenu said, via Patriots Wire.
