Former NY Jets quarterback Christian Hackenberg is attempting a comeback as a baseball pitcher.
NY Jets fans likely don’t have the fondest memories of former quarterback Christian Hackenberg. The 2016 second-round pick became well-known as one of the biggest busts in recent Jets draft history.
Hackenberg showed potential during his time at Penn State, but remained a polarizing prospect right up until the 2016 NFL Draft. That’s when the Jets shockingly selected Hackenberg — a Day 3 prospect by most outlets — with the 51st overall pick in the draft.
