Jets QB Battle: Levis vs Plummer | New York Jets News

0:00It's September 4th. Welcome to New York Jets News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Corey with the story. The New York Jets are looking at their backup quarterback situation, and it seems they're not entirely sold on their current guy, Cade Clubnik. He's a rookie, and while he's shown promise, the team has a history of struggles when their starting quarterback goes down. They brought in a couple of veteran options for a tryout. One of those guys is Will Levis, who was a second-round pick for the Tennessee Titans back in 2023. He started 21 games for them over the last two seasons, showing flashes of potential early on, but ultimately struggle with ball security and decision making. He didn't play at all last season. The other player they're looking at is Jack Plummer, who was the MVP of the UFL this past season with the Orlando Storm. He had a really strong showing there, throwing 17 touchdowns with only one interception, which is pretty impressive. He's also had a brief stint on a practice squad in the NFL before.

1:01If either Levis or Plummer were to sign, they'd likely join Bayley's Appi on the practice squad for now. Zap himself as a former starter for the Patriots, but he didn't make the cut for the main roster this year. It's unclear if he'd still be with the team if one of these new guys comes aboard. The Jets kick off their season on September 13th, against the very same Tennessee Titans team Levis used to play for. If Levis ends up signing, he could potentially offer some inside information on their offensive schemes, which might be a strategic advantage.
