0:00It's April 25th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI and ready for kickoff. The New York Jets finally grabbed a quarterback in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, trading up from pick number 100. 28 to number 110 to Snag Clemson's signal caller, Cade Clubnick. At 6.2 and a quarter inches tall, weighing 207 pounds, this guy's got solid athleticism with a 4.6540 yard. Fresh time from Clemson's pro day. Clubnick put up 2,943 passing yards in 2025 on a 65.6 completion rate, tossing 16. Touchdowns against just six picks for a 139 rating. He added some rushing juice too, though his numbers dipped from a Monster 2024 where he racked up 3,639. Yards and 36 scores. Scout see a dude with arm-telling and mobility who can improvise and hit windows, but he's inconsistent on reads and accuracy, especially outside.

For the Jets, it fits after Justin Fields flopped last year, they're bridging with 36-year-old Janos Smith on a one-year deal. Bleacher report compares him to Matt Carau, praising the upside in a better system with a strong rent gain to steady him. Meanwhile, the Jets keep eyes on the loaded 2027 class like Arch Manning, but this move plans a seed for tomorrow without blocking the vets, smart play in a thin room.
