Jets' search for quarterback leads to workout with second-round draft bust originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Jets are in the market for a quarterback for their practice squad and that has led to them working out two signal-callers on Thursday, one of which is a former second-round draft pick.
According to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt, the Jets worked out quarterbacks Will Levis and Jack Plummer.
While the Jets could certainly use more insurance at quarterback on their 53-man roster, Rosenblatt notes New York is looking for a practice squad quarterback instead.
New York's current quarterbacks room includes Geno Smith and rookie Cade Klubnik, but the Jets don't have a signal-caller on the practice squad.

Former Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer is really high on Bo Nix ahead of the quarterback's third season in the NFL
Nix, coming off a broken ankle, is looking to break into the top half of signal-callers, and Plummer says there's no concern on his end about Nix getting right back to form this fall.
"I think we're going to see the same Bo we've seen," Plummer said at a USAA boot camp at the Broncos' facility on Wednesday. "The kid loves football. He's a great leader. He plays a game with a ton of passion... hopefully he can go through the season without getting hurt because we saw how important he was to this team."
Nix's importance to the Broncos cannot be overstated, going into one of the most anticipated seasons for the franchise since 2015. Nix's statistics are hard to ignore as well, as his numbers match up with some of the best in the NFL over the past two seasons. Plummer praised Nix's superb athleticism and smarts when he's under center.
"The kid plays the game at a really high level," Plummer said. "He's smart with the ball. He can stay in the pocket, throw the ball. I'm hoping he gets a little more anticipation this year, maybe not having to rip it all the time, but taking a little bit off and leading guys and knowing when the holes are opening in the passing game. But then outside of that, he's just amazing at what he does with his legs. He's so smart when he runs. He picks the right times and he's also very elusive, a lot more elusive and quick than people give him credit for in this league that's full of so many mobile athletic gunslingers and quarterbacks. I think Bo ranks right up there with the tops."

Here is a look at the all-time passing yardage leaders for every NFL franchise.
This list includes 11 current Pro Football Hall of Famers and a number of other quarterbacks who will one day be enshrined in Canton. While some teams have obvious all-time passing yardage leaders (Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, for starters), other teams have surprising players atop their passing lists.
Years: 1966-1983
Yards: 34,639 (209 TDs)
Others: Neil Lomax (22,771 yards), Kyler Murray (20,460), Jake Plummer (17,622), Carson Palmer (17,622)

The Detroit Lions continue to scan the free-agent market as training camp rolls along, and one name from their latest workout group certainly stands out.
According to the NFL transaction wire, Detroit brought eight players to Allen Park for tryouts, headlined by former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs. The group also included quarterbacks Jack Plummer and Jake Haener, receivers Julian Hicks and Ray-Ray McCloud, and linebackers Amari Burney, Milo Eifler and Amen Ogbongbemiga.
Ogbongbemiga has since signed with Detroit, while the Lions are also adding veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs following Teddy Bridgewater's retirement.
Diggs, 27, is easily the most accomplished player Detroit evaluated.
The former second-round pick exploded in 2021 when he led the NFL with 11 interceptions, returned two for touchdowns and earned First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. He followed that with another Pro Bowl season in 2022.

The Miami Dolphins are set to enter training camp with four quarterbacks on the roster, as Malik Willis is slated to start, Quinn Ewers is expected to be the backup and both Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski are battling for third spot on the depth chart.
However, the Dolphins are apparently looking for more competition for the room, as KPRC2's Aaron Wilson reported that Miami is set to host quarterback Jack Plummer for a workout next week.
Plummer played at Purdue from 2018-21, California in 2022 and Louisville in 2023, where he earned All-ACC honors. After going undrafted in 2024, he signed with the Carolina Panthers and spent his rookie season split between the practice squad and active roster.
The 26-year-old failed to make the roster last year and sat out the season before joining the Orlando Storm of the UFL. He led the team to an 8-2 record while completing 65% of his passes for a league-leading 2,189 yards, 17 touchdowns and one interception. His performance earned him All-UFL honors, and he was named the MVP of the league.
Plummer is also set to work out for the San Francisco 49ers on Friday, July 24, so if he does well in front of Kyle Shanahan's staff, he might not make it to his workout in South Florida next week.

The 49ers have often entered training camp with four quarterbacks under Kyle Shanahan. Last year, it was Brock Purdy, Mac Jones, Kurtis Rourke, Tanner Mordecai, and Carter Bradley. There was an extra quarterback in the fold with Rourke recovering from a knee injury.
The previous August, it was Purdy, Mordecai, Brandon Allen, and Josh Dobbs. In August 2023, It was Purdy, Allen, Sam Darnold, and Trey Lance.
The 49ers have four arms on the roster currently, with Purdy, Jones, Rourke, and Adrian Martinez. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, the Niners will work out former UFL MVP Jack Plummer for the Orlando Storm. Plummer led the league with 2,188 yards and had 17 touchdowns with only one interception in 10 games. Plummer went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, but was waived by the Carolina Panthers last August during roster cuts.
The 49ers might want to give Brock Purdy rest during the next month, or need a quarterback to throw late in preseason games. To me, the team working out a quarterback is a sign they want to upgrade from Martinez. Plummer’s stat line would suggest he is the kind of quarterback Shanahan would gravitate toward.

The San Francisco 49ers will work out quarterback Jack Plummer, the reigning UFL MVP, on Wednesday, according to KPRC 2's Aaron Wilson. Plummer also has a workout scheduled with the Miami Dolphins next week, per Wilson.
Plummer, who led the Orlando Storm to an 8-2 record as a starter in 2026, threw for 2,189 yards and 17 touchdowns against just one interception, completing 65% of his passes for a 104.2 rating. He added 189 yards and two scores on the ground, capping a UFL season that made him one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league.
The 26-year-old is a well-traveled college veteran, having played at Purdue, California and Louisville. His final season at Louisville in 2023 was his most productive collegiate campaign, throwing for 3,204 yards and 21 touchdowns. Across his college career, Plummer completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 9,728 yards, 68 touchdowns and 31 interceptions in 47 games.
After going undrafted in 2024, Plummer spent some time on the Carolina Panthers, bouncing between the practice squad and the active roster before being waived ahead of the 2025 season. He is not related to former NFL quarterback Jake Plummer, who spent 10 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos.
Should San Francisco bring Plummer into training camp, he would be competing for a roster spot behind starter Brock Purdy in a quarterback room that currently includes Mac Jones, Adrian Martinez and Kurtis Rourke. Jones is likely the QB2, meaning Plummer would effectively be fighting for the QB3 role with Martinez and Rourke.

A former Carolina Panthers quarterback could be on the doorstep of an NFL return.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Jack Plummer is set to work out for the San Francisco 49ers and the Miami Dolphins. Per Wilson, the 26-year-old passer will visit the 49ers on Friday and the Dolphins next week.
Plummer, a standout from the University of Louisville, began as pro career as an undrafted free agent with the Panthers back in 2024. He'd spend that year and the summer of 2025 in Carolina, making a total of six appearances during preseason play as the third-string quarterback.
After being waived by Carolina ahead of last season, Plummer eventually found his way to the United Football League. This past spring, he completed 65 percent of his passes for 2,188 yards, 17 touchdowns and just one interception—leading the Orlando Storm to a league-best 8-2 record and capturing the UFL's 2026 Most Valuable Player honors.

We can officially commence the countdown to the start of the Arizona Cardinals' regular season. Today, Sunday, June 7, is 98 days away from the Arizona Cardinals' regular-season opener on Sept. 13 on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers.
With 98 days until Week 1, let's look back at the 1998 season for the Cardinals.
This was the Cardinals' first winning season in Arizona. They finished 9-7, winning the final three games of the regular season by three or fewer points. They were the "Cardiac Cardinals," led by Jake Plummer. They won a playoff game, beating the Dallas Cowboys, before getting smoked by the Minnesota Vikings 41-21.
Plummer, in his second season, led seven game-winning drives. He was sacked a league-high 49 times. He completed 59.2% of his passes for 3,737 yards, 17 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. He also rushed for 217 yards and four scores.
Adrian Murrell led the team in rushing with 1,042 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 3.8 yards per carry.
