Cade Klubnik Tops List of Players to Watch as OTAs Kick off

About this episode

The episode discusses rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik and other players to watch as the New York Jets begin OTAs.

When the New York Jets open up OTAs this week, the big name folks will be interested in hearing about is rookie quarterback Cade Klubnik. The rookie reportedly impressed during rookie minicamp and will now get his first shot to make plays against veteran NFL defenders. Klubnik will garner plenty of attention simply by the nature of being a quarterback. But who else should Jets fans be focused on? https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/72172477/download.mp3 Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper: The Jets used two first round picks on tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper. While OTAs won’t be padded or full contact, they will have a chance to try to get open against NFL defensive backs for the first time so fans will be tuned in to find out how they’re progressing. AD Mitchell: Mitchell is a possible x-factor this season as a speedy former second-round pick who flashed last season but was largely limited by putrid quarterback play. If Mitchell looks like he may hit his ceiling, the Jets will have quite a lot to work with in terms of pass catchers in 2026 with Geno Smith under center. Take a look at every AD Mitchell target and reception with the Jets last season…
