Once thought to be a top-5 pick, this potential starting QB has been horrendous in practice ·

When the New York Jets drafted Christian Hackenberg in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, they were hoping to get the quarterback who was a potential top-5 pick after his freshman year.

Instead, Hackenberg has yet to play a down in the NFL, and he remains wildly inconsistent in practice.

A video from a recent Jets practice shows Hackenberg misfiring on a throw and hitting a reporter on the sideline.

Hackenberg has missed on several throws during OTAs despite not going up against a defense.

The Jets' quarterback competition is between Hackenberg, Bryce Petty, and veteran Josh McCown. No wonder one executive called the Jets' roster one of the worst he's ever seen.
