Christian Hackenberg failed to win the Jets starting quarterback job this summer, but the team’s new boss is not giving up on him.

“The quarterback position is really difficult to evaluate, and we haven’t really seen where Christian might go. I’m really more about looking forward than looking back,” said new Jets CEO and chairman Christopher Johnson. “Everybody’s going to look back and find places where things have gone wrong. I don’t think that you can say that about Christian. I think that he has a lot of upside, and I hope to see it.”

The Jets selected Hackenberg in the second round of the 2016 draft. He did not play as a rookie. This summer, he was given a chance to win the starting job, but ended up being the third-string quarterback behind Josh McCown and Bryce Petty.

“His chance will come and he’ll have time to fight again,” coach Todd Bowles said this week.
