News: 2 days agoKlubnik was named the No. 2 quarterback on the Jets' first unofficial depth chart of training camp, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.

Spin: The fourth-round rookie out of Clemson seems to have the lead in the No. 2 quarterback competition with Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook. Klubnik completed 65.6 percent of his pass attempts for 2,943 yards and a 16:6 TD:INT as a senior for Clemson. As of now, it looks like Klubnik has a good chance of seeing the most snaps among the team's quarterbacks in Friday's preseason opener against the Buccaneers.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Klubnik was selected by the Jets in the fourth round of April's draft. Klubnik is an undersized, conservative quarterback who ranked last in this rookie class in aDOT (7.4), yards per completion (11.1), yards per attempt (7.1) and QB rating (136) during his collegiate tenure. He peaked with a 36-to-6 TD-to-INT showing in 2024, but fell to 16 TDs and six INTs in 2025. Klubnik does have a lot of experience (three years as a starter at Clemson) and could add value with his legs (totaled a 294-1,429-17 rushing line in his career), though he was extremely inefficient in the latter in 2025. Klubnik will battle for No. 2 duties behind Geno Smith.
