The 2021 CFP National Champion is now headed to the Jaguars and it will be interesting to see if he can change the fortunes of the team. However, what came as a major scare right before the draft, Travon was involved in a terrible accident in Athens. NFL Insider Ian Rapoport confirmed the news.

He took to Twitter to inform, “A big-time scare before the Draft. Georgia’s Travon Walker was in a serious car accident in Athens, GA before the draft, crashing into two parked cars, per me and Tom Pelissero. He emerged without injuries somehow. No citations. But a scare for sure.“

The best part is that he was able to avoid any major injuries. This might have turned out to be a major disaster for Travon as it happened just before the draft but thankfully, he is doing alright and is expected to change the fortunes of the Jaguars.
