Jets evaluate former Titans QB Will Levis and UFL MVP Jack Plummer in recent workouts
The New York Jets held workouts for ex-Titans quarterback Will Levis and UFL MVP Jack Plummer while keeping rookie Cade Klubnik as the official backup.
The New York Jets announced that rookie Cade Klubnik will serve as the backup quarterback for the upcoming season. In addition, the club conducted workouts on Thursday for former Titans second-round pick Will Levis and UFL standout Jack Plummer, who earned MVP honors with the Orlando Storm. Neither player is expected to make the active roster immediately; any signing would probably place them on the practice squad, which already includes Bailey Zappe.
Geno Smith remains the Jets' starting quarterback, while Klubnik, a fourth-round selection from Clemson, is the sole other quarterback on the 53-man roster. The moves reflect the Jets' willingness to explore depth options despite the risk of relying on a rookie backup.
