Klubnik went 2-of-5 during 11-on-11 team drills, according to ESPN . The former Clemson standout overthrew his target on one incompletion and there was an errant throw on another dropback. It's worth noting one of Klubnik's three incompletions was a dropped pass.
Offensive coordinator Frank Reich's 7-on-7 drills reportedly weren't any kinder to Klubik.
The fourth-round quarterback finished 3-of-9. He threw an interception down the sideline to cornerback Tre Brown . The turnover appeared to have rattled Klubnik, who followed his interception with a few more misfires. The Jets ' offense reportedly worked on a lot of third-and-long, placing the rookie quarterback at a disadvantage.
Tuesday's practice was a necessary reminder that Klubnik is a young quarterback who will experience growing pains, especially during OTAs and training camp.

The key for Klubnik will be to embrace the struggles while stacking better days. Geno Smith had a far better practice by comparison, and that's precisely why the Jets are leaning on a veteran quarterback this season.
Jets Wire will continue to provide updates throughout the 2026 offseason.
