Klubnik, the fourth-round pick with the inside track to being Smith's backup, was not as crisp as the prior week but faced constant pressure. He finished 10-for-14 for 75 yards, was sacked twice, and played five series without producing any points. He made some nice plays including a 16-yard scramble for a first down and a third-down pass to Isaiah Williams, but Williams fumbled. Klubnik also got flagged for an intentional grounding penalty when he threw the ball out of bounds with no receiver in the same zip code.

Klubnik, the fifth-round quarterback, looked sharp and composed in his run with the Jets' first-stringers, twice connecting with top receiver Garrett Wilson and directing two scoring drives. He finished 5-of-7 for 56 yards. Coach Aaron Glenn lauded the rookie's moxie and called the performance "really a thumbs-up." The job of backing up starter Geno Smith should belong to Klubnik at this point, and it would make sense for the team to get a closer look at him late in the year.

Klubnik completed 5 of 7 passing attempts for 56 yards in his NFL debut preseason action, executing the plays given to him effectively with no glaring errors or ill-advised decisions; Geno Smith labels this a success despite limited action and argues the Jets should have given him extended reps to develop against depth and practice squad competition, which could provide confidence-building opportunities and exposure to professional passing concepts.
