Cade Klubnik Showed The Jets More Than His Stats in Preseason Debut | After Further Review

Cade Klubnik’s first preseason appearance with the New York Jets wasn’t defined by a huge stat line. The rookie quarterback completed 5 of 7 passes for 56 yards while leading scoring drives on both of his possessions, but the more important part of his debut was how he handled the moment.

In this edition of After Further Review, Dexter Henry looks beyond the box score and examines Klubnik’s poise, command and confidence after being unexpectedly handed the starting offense against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

One preseason game doesn’t determine whether Klubnik is ready to become an NFL starting quarterback or even settle the Jets’ QB2 competition. But his debut offered an early look at how he responds when the plan changes and the pressure arrives.
