After the New York Jets selected Sam Darnold with the number three pick in the NFL Draft, things got even more crowded in the quarterback room. Darnold became the fifth passer on the Jets roster according to the team website.
Josh McCown is the projected starter, Teddy Bridgewater is an option if he stays healthy, and of course, Sam Darnold isn’t going anywhere. Most teams only carry three quarterbacks on their roster, which leaves an awkward situation here between the Jets and the other quarterbacks remaining on the team.
Hackenberg has yet to throw a regular-season NFL pass or even get into a game for that matter.
