Cade Klubnik Joins Jets, Ready to Compete

On April 26th, the New York Jets made some serious moves in the 2026 NFL draft,

snagging three first round picks to boost both offense and defense.

Their big splash was drafted in Clemson quarterback Cade Clubnick,

who's fired up to turn heads despite a rough final college year.

That 2025 season at Clemson was tough for Clevnick with just 2,973 passing yards,

16 touchdowns, and six picks.

It was a down year for the Tigers overall,

but the Jets see untapped potential in his arm and grit.

Clevnick brushed off the doubters quick, saying he learned to handle adversity,

and he's all in on being a Jets.

General manager Darren Moogie backed that up,

highlighting why they bet on him even after the struggles.

He's no stranger to the Jets' shaky quarterback past,

but with a fresh staff, new culture, and revamped roster, he's ready to grind.

No dwelling on history for this kid.

Now, Clevnick steps into a crowd at QB room, battling Geno Smith,

Brady Cook, and Bailey Zappy for playing time this fall,

and you can bet he's plotting.

His breakout from day one.
