Christian Hackenberg was so off target at Jets’ OTAs that some of his passes hit reporters

As the New York Jets continue to purge their roster of virtually all their veteran players, those who remain are attempting to hone their skills at OTAs. And it appears their young quarterback needs a bit more time refining his touch.

According to Connor Hughes of NJ.com, Christian Hackenberg struggled mightily with his accuracy during the organized team activities, repeatedly missing his targets and on two occasions overthrowing his receivers so badly that the passes traveled off the practice field and hit reporters on the sidelines.

“When Hackenberg misses, he really misses,” Hughes wrote Thursday.
