Jets work out Will Levis and Jack Plummer as team scouts quarterback depth
The New York Jets hosted former Tennessee Titans starter Will Levis and UFL MVP Jack Plummer for workouts on Thursday, one week after naming rookie Cade Klubnik as the team's backup quarterback, according to the report.
Geno Smith is the Jets' starting quarterback. Klubnik, a fourth-round pick out of Clemson, is the only other quarterback on the active roster. Bailey Zappe is currently on the practice squad. Any player signed from Thursday's workouts would likely be placed on the practice squad, according to the report.
Levis, 27, was a second-round pick by the Titans in 2023 out of Kentucky. He started 21 games across the 2023 and 2024 seasons for Tennessee but did not play last season. The Titans released him on Sunday when rosters were cut from 90 to 53 players.
Plummer spent time on the Carolina Panthers practice squad in 2024 but did not appear in a game. In the UFL this past season with the Orlando Storm, he threw 17 touchdown passes and one interception and was named the league's MVP.
