Put your trust in Mike Maccagnan just one more time

When general manager Mike Maccagnan was first hired by the New York Jets back in 2015, early expectations were good. He’s a great scout of talent and believes in rebuilding a team the right way. So far, he’s done a great job when it comes to free agent signings but not so much when it comes to his draft selections at quarterback.

Maccagnan was the man behind drafting both Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg. Needless to say, he dropped the ball big time, especially with reaching for Hackenberg and essentially wasting a second-round pick on him.
