Cade Klubnik couldn't have asked for a much better introduction to the NFL . The rookie quarterback wasn't originally expected to start the Jets' preseason opener, but Geno Smith's sore ankle changed those plans and gave Klubnik a chance much sooner than expected.
He made the most of it. Klubnik guided the New York Jets to two scoring drives in his NFL debut, completing five of seven passes for 56 yards. He connected twice with tight end Mason Taylor, while Garrett Wilson and Omar Cooper Jr. also caught passes from the rookie.
For a quarterback making his first appearance, Klubnik looked comfortable enough to give the Jets something to feel good about. He also became just the third rookie quarterback in Jets history to start a preseason opener, adding a little more significance to an already important night.

"Although I'm a young player, I think that I'm poised," Klubnik told reporters . "We put some drives together, that was fun and, you know, I still made some mistakes out there. Being able to learn from those and respond from those quickly and have my teammates kind of have my back whenever those did happen, that was good to see."
That's a good assessment of the game. Klubnik wasn't perfect, but he didn't need to be 100% on. He gave the Jets some positive signs. That's what he needed to do.
Head coach Aaron Glenn was impressed with the way Klubnik operated, especially because the rookie hadn't received many first-team reps before kickoff. He completed his first three passes before missing a short throw to the left side.

Klubnik also had to manage the communication with offensive coordinator Frank Reich calling the plays, something he said felt smooth. That's another positive sign for a young quarterback trying to establish himself.
The backup quarterback competition isn't settled, with Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook also getting time. But, Klubnik is making a good first impression.
