The Jets official twitter account has confirmed the signing running back Braelon Allen. Chosen in round four of the draft (134th overall), Allen is expected to bring some thump to the Jets backfield.

Power. Explosion. Agility. Contact Balance.

The youngest player in this year’s draft at just twenty years old, the powerful runner out of Wisconsin should bring a short yardage and goal line weapon out of the backfield that the Jets lacked in 2023. In three seasons with the Badgers, Allen amassed 3,494 yards and 35 touchdowns.

In addition to Allen, the Jets locked up quarterback Jordan Travis whom they added with pick number 171 in the fifth round.

A young signal caller who should have time to sit back and learn, Travis is viewed as an excellent leader who uses a combination of mobility and accuracy to challenge opposing defenses.

Fellow fifth-round pick Isaiah Davis also signed his rookie deal with the Jets where he’ll likely push Izzy Abanikanda for a roster spot.

And now RB Isaiah Davis, the second of three picks in the fifth round, has signed his rookie contract — four years, about $4.3 million. #Jets
