Ten players with most to prove during NFL training camp

Could the Denver Broncos release Jamaal Charles before training camp is over?

9. Christian Hackenberg, quarterback, New York Jets

Josh McCown Bryce Petty Christian Hackenberg New York Jets

Hackenberg really needs to get with the program during training camp. All he is doing to make a name for himself so far in practices is throwing errant passes at sideline reporters.

“Other times, the wideout/running back/tight end was wide open, and Hackenberg sailed it over his head or bounced it to him. That can’t happen. In the three media-open OTAs, Hackenberg hit reporters with passes twice.“

That’s a lot of yuck. Right now, Hackenberg remains buried behind Josh McCown and Bryce Petty. He has yet to register any official stats having sat benched his entire rookie season. And this was obviously for good cause.

At this time, it is looking more like the Jets landed a complete bust when they took a second-round gamble on Hackenberg in 2016.
