New York Jets Work Out Two QBs, Including Former Second-Round Pick With A Big Arm

The New York Jets have brought in two quarterbacks, Jack Plummer and Will Levis, for a workout. Neither player was signed, but both are being considered for a possible spot on the practice squad. This move indicates that Geno Smith's backup, Bailey Zappe, may not have an unassailable position on the team. Zappe, who has yet to play a regular season game in the NFL, is 35 years old while Levis, a 27-year-old former Tennessee Titans second-round pick, and Plummer, a 26-year-old former UFL star, are both eager to prove their worth.

Plummer, despite not participating in any NFL training camps, won the UFL's MVP award last season with impressive stats. The Jets' interest in these quarterbacks suggests they are looking for additional competition and options in case of need.
