A 2016 second-round pick, Hackenberg entered training camp with a chance to compete against Josh McCown and Bryce Petty for the starting role in New York. McCown ultimately won the job, though he seems to be simply a caretaker until either of the youngsters are ready to grab the mantle (if they grab the mantle). That could be Hackenberg, though he couldn't get on the field last year even as the Jets cycled through three quarterbacks, including Petty, who kept getting hurt. Hackenberg has a strong arm, but accuracy problems followed him from college to the NFL, and this year he must learn a new offense again with the arrival of coordinator John Morton. Hackenberg got good reviews in May OTAs, but he was vastly outplayed by Petty during the preseason.
