Jets' Cade Klubnik: Impressing coaches
New York Jets coaches have been impressed by the skill set and approach of Cade Klubnik (back) as the rookie enters training camp competing for the No. 2 QB job, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.Klubnik remains a young developmental option behind veteran starter Geno Smith, but it's encouraging to see that he's already drawn praise from quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave, offensive coordinator Frank Reich and head coach Aaron Glenn. The Jets coaching staff appears to have confidence in Klubnik's mechanics, and the preseason will be a valuable chance for the rookie fourth-round pick to gather experience. He dealt with back tightness during the final two weeks of spring practices, so he could be eased back into action to kick off training camp.

Jets' Cade Klubnik: Headed to Jets
The New York Jets selected Cade Klubnik in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 110th overall.Klubnik's college career didn't end with his most impressive campaign of the bunch, but he put up 3,639 passing yards and a 36:6 TD:INT ratio as a junior in 2024 and still completed 65.6 percent of his pass attempts for 2,943 yards as a senior for Clemson, amassing a 16:6 TD:INT ratio to close things out. Klubnik boasts the measurables necessary for the position and more than enough athleticism, but he struggles getting through his reads and tends to leave the pocket earlier than necessary. While Geno Smith is locked into the starting gig in New York for the next couple of years on a two-year, $75 million contract, Klubnik should have a chance to claim the top backup job from Brady Cook, who really struggled when thrust into starting duties late in the 2025 campaign.
