Jets may give Christian Hackenberg some starts next season

New York Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg will make starts in 2017, expects ESPN New York.

What It Means:

Despite being unwilling to even give Hackenberg practice reps during his rookie campaign, reporter Rich Cimini believes the Jets want to see what they have in the former second-round pick. It's a noble idea, but there doesn't seem to be much hope for Hack, with an anonymous Jets source declaring to the New York Daily News that the 22-year-old pass-thrower would "never make it."

Led by Ryan Fitzpatrick, Bryce Petty and Geno Smith, the Jets were third-worst in the NFL last season in schedule-adjusted Passing Net Expected Points per play.
