Jets offseason will determine if Christian Hackenberg was a mistake

When the New York Jets selected quarterback Christian Hackenberg out of Penn State in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, many fans felt the team reached for him. He only had one decent year in college and the rest was filled with turnovers, lots of hits due to an inconsistent offensive line, and a whole lot of inaccuracy.

Fast forward two years later and believe it or not, Hackenberg has yet to even take a single snap in a regular season game. He actually made history by being one of just a few quarterbacks that were drafted so high that went two full years in the NFL and failed to start, let alone get some playing time in a football game that counts.
