2026 Projections
Signed a four-year contract with the Jets in May of 2026.
Headed to Jets
The Jets selected Klubnik in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 110th overall.
ANALYSIS
Klubnik's college career didn't end with his most impressive campaign of the bunch, but he put up 3,639 passing yards and a 36:6 TD:INT ratio as a junior in 2024 and still completed 65.6 percent of his pass attempts for 2,943 yards as a senior for Clemson, amassing a 16:6 TD:INT ratio to close things out. Klubnik boasts the measurables necessary for the position and more than enough athleticism, but he struggles getting through his reads and tends to leave the pocket earlier than necessary. While Geno Smith is locked into the starting gig in New York for the next couple of years on a two-year, $75 million contract, Klubnik should have a chance to claim the top backup job from Brady Cook, who really struggled when thrust into starting duties late in the 2025 campaign.

Could get competition for No. 2 job
Klubnik will head into OTAs as the favorite to be the Jets' backup quarterback behind Geno Smith, but the team could bring in a veteran free agent if he looks overmatched, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Taken in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, Klubnik made a good impression during rookie minicamp, but OTAs will provide a better test of whether the Clemson product is ready to handle the speed of NFL games. Russell Wilson is among the veteran QBs the Jets have been in contact with this offseason.
