FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) The New York Jets have selected Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg with their second-round pick in the NFL draft.
With Ryan Fitzpatrick still unsigned and in a contract stalemate with the Jets, New York added another quarterback to the roster in Hackenberg. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Hackenberg threw 16 touchdowns with six interceptions last season for the Nittany Lions.
The Jets also have Geno Smith, the former starter who was a second-rounder in 2013, and Bryce Petty, a fourth-rounder last year, at quarterback.
General manager Mike Maccagnan said leading up to the draft that the Jets would likely take a quarterback at some point, and insisted Fitzpatrick’s situation wouldn’t affect that approach.
New York drafted Ohio State linebacker Darron Lee in the first round with the 20th overall pick Thursday night.
