NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Cade Klubnik unexpectedly started at quarterback for the Jets in their preseason opener due to Geno Smith’s sore ankle, completing 5-of-7 passes for 56 yards and leading the team to 10 points over two drives.
- Jets head coach Aaron Glenn praised Klubnik’s confidence and comfort running the offense, comparing it to his 40 starts at Clemson and highlighting his ability to make plays with both his arm and feet.
- Glenn acknowledged Klubnik made some mistakes but expressed confidence that the rookie will quickly learn and improve, describing his performance as “really a thumbs up.”
- The coach cautioned that the positive assessment should be tempered by the fact it was a preseason game and the Buccaneers were without their starters, suggesting the performance should not be overhyped.
