Jets Name Klubnik Backup QB | New York Jets News

The Jets have officially tapped rookie Cade Klubnik as their backup quarterback, beating out other contenders with standout preseason performances that showcased his poise, athleticism, and quick learning curve. Starting two of three preseason games, Klubnik completed over 60% of his passes for nearly 200 yards and led scoring drives — including a clutch throw deep in his own end zone. Head coach Aaron Glenn praised his confidence and composure, while the team’s bold fourth-round trade-up to select him marks the largest such move in franchise history. Klubnik, now locked in as Geno Smith’s No. 2, is soaking up lessons from veterans and eager to grow — and he’s already making waves as a rookie ready to rise.
