Jets Draft Cade Klubnik: Dual-Threat QB

0:00On April 25th, Jets made waves in the 2026 NFL draft by trading up to snag former Clemson quarterback, Cade Klubnik at the 100. Tenth overall pick in the fourth round. He became the first Tigers player selected on day three, marking a solid spot for the Texas native. This makes Klubnik the sixth guy from Clemson's 2025 team to get drafted this year, and he's the fifth quarterback off the board. Overall, the Jets clearly saw value worth the move. Coming out of Austin as a five star recruit, Klubnik anchored the Tigers for three full seasons from 2023 to 2025. Fans lit up social media with mixed takes. Some hyped the upside, others questioned the reach after his regression last year. Over his college career in 49 games, with 40 starts, he racked up 10,123 passing yards, 73, touchdowns, and just 24 picks. He even added 878 rushing yards and 17 scores on 369 carries.

Now he's geared up to battle in New York's QB room, bringing that dual threat fire to the pros. I'm Cory with the story, and you've been listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage.
