Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, one of college football's most polarizing players over the past two seasons, didn't hear his name called at any point during the 2026 NFL Draft.

The New York Jets added to their quarterback room by selecting Cade Klubnik in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft, but it sounds like veteran starter Geno Smith could be in for more than a one-year stint with the team.

They also feature two top-11-pick offensive tackles in Olu Fashanu (left tackle) and Armand Membou (right tackle). That's an ideal setup for Nussmeier, who can become more dangerous with extra time in the pocket.
