Fresno State's Record-Setting Pocket Maestro Turned NFL Reserve
Jake Haener, Fresno State's all-time leader in completion percentage at .681 and with 9,013 career passing yards (2020-22), dazzled with pinpoint accuracy, poise under pressure, and 90 TDs across 35 games, earning a 2023 fourth-round Saints draft pick. His gunslinger arm and cool-headed leadership shone in clutch moments like deep heaves, though limited NFL snaps (226 yards, 1 TD in 2024) reflect backup status—now Chiefs' reserve behind Mahomes post-2025. Ideal for teams needing a smart, accurate QB2 with starter upside and zero injury red flags.
