Professional career
[edit]Hackett signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets on 1 May 2016.[3][4] He was waived on 28 July 2016 after the team re-signed quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.[5]
After being waived by the Jets, Hackett began co-hosting a sports radio show on KALL in Salt Lake City.[6]
Hackett was drafted in the first round (6th overall) in the 2022 CFL Global Draft by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, signaling a potential return to professional play after six years.[7] He briefly attended rookie minicamp with Winnipeg but returned to the United States amidst uncertainty regarding the player strikes prior to the 2022 CFL season.[8]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
