Draft Surprise: Clemson Quarterback Cade Klubnik Picked in NFL Fourth Round
The Jets traded up 18 spots for Klubnik after his 2025 production fell to 2,943 passing yards and 16 touchdowns.
- On Saturday, the New York Jets selected Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik with the 110th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, trading up 18 spots in the fourth round.
- Klubnik, a five-star recruit from Austin, Texas, played 49 games at Clemson but saw his production drop to 2,943 passing yards and 16 touchdowns in 2025 as the program struggled.
- Jets offensive coordinator Frank Reich held multiple meetings with Klubnik during the pre-draft process, and the quarterback joins starter Geno Smith, acquired from the Las Vegas Raiders.
- Klubnik said, "I'm just celebrating being a Jet now," adding, "But I'm excited to go to work. It's a new staff, it's a new program."
- The New York Jets hold three first-round picks in 2027 and have endured 10 straight losing seasons without a Pro Bowl quarterback since 2008, positioning this pick within a broader quarterback search.
