While it seems Christian Hackenberg doesn’t have the ability to throw a football without pegging a reporter, it does seem like his ears are working just fine. Because obviously he heard earlier on Thursday that the New York Jets starting trimming the fat in the quarterback room by releasing Bryce Petty.
As expected, the #Jets have released backup QB Bryce Petty, per source.

The beads of sweat are palpable from Hackenberg while he ponders his future not only on 1 Jets Drive, but in the NFL in general.
