Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney on Cade Klubnik’s New York Jets NFL debut

Here’s what Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney had to say about Cade Klubnik’s NFL preseason debut with the New York Jets.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney expressed pride in former quarterback Cade Klubnik after he made his NFL debut with the New York Jets in a preseason game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Klubnik, a fourth-round pick, completed five of seven passes for 56 yards and contributed to both scoring drives for the Jets. He finished the brief start, watching the remainder of the game from the sideline.

Swinney, who had long believed in Klubnik's NFL potential, was pleased with his performance. The Tigers' quarterback has led the team to ACC championships in 2022 and 2024, earning MVP honors each year, and amassed 11,001 total yards during his career. Swinney expects Klubnik to have a long career in the NFL, citing his talent and work ethic.

With Cade Klubnik's debut behind him, Clemson now turns towards a new era at the quarterback position, with Christopher Vizzina and Tait Reynolds vying for the starting role ahead of their season opener against LSU on September 5.
