FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Don’t give up on Christian Hackenberg, Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan said.
Hackenberg, the 2016 second-round draft pick, has not played in a NFL game. While he was active for four games in 2017, the Jets still believe in him.
“The book on Christian is not closed,” the GM said Tuesday. “He’s only 22 years old. He’s made progress. He’s made developments, this is going to be a good offseason for him. We’re kinda excited to see how he does with a second year in this system [West Coast offense] and he’s going to have an opportunity in training camp to go out and play again and we’ll see how he develops going forward.
