Christian Hackenberg peaked in his freshman year of college. He broke all sorts of Penn State Freshman records, and then just sort of plateaued. Heading into the draft after his junior season, Hackenberg was rated as the 5th best quarterback available.

The Jets picked him up in the second round, ahead of future NFL starters Jacoby Brissett and Dak Prescott. It was all pretty much downhill from there. Hackenberg played in a few preseason games for the Jets but never saw the field in regular-season games in two seasons on their roster. He spent time on a few practice squads and a season in the AAF with the Memphis Express.
