Christian Hackenberg

He’s been Hacked. For good this time.

The roller-coaster-that-only-seems-to-point-down career of Christian Hackenberg is getting the slightest bit of hope and a dash of hype before he debuts in the Alliance of American Football, with his Memphis Express beginning their season with the league’s inauguration Sunday.

The historic Jets bust — a second-round pick who never took a snap in the regular season in his 2016 and ’17 seasons before getting cut — believes he has identified and fixed the problem. Working with former Jets quarterback coach David Lee, Hackenberg has allegedly solved the windup issue he said he now believes kept him from ever appearing in an NFL game.
