The New York Jets have been searching for a starting quarterback for some time, and it looks like they have finally found their man. Zach Wilson, the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, is set to take over as the starting quarterback for the Jets after Aaron Rodgers’ departure.
Wilson is a highly touted prospect who has been praised for his accuracy, arm strength, and mobility. He had a successful college career at BYU, where he threw for over 8,600 yards and 76 touchdowns in three seasons. He also ran for over 1,000 yards and scored 14 touchdowns on the ground.
The Jets are hoping that Wilson can bring stability to the quarterback position and help the team turn things around. He will be surrounded by a talented group of offensive weapons, including wide receivers Jamison Crowder and Corey Davis, running back Le’Veon Bell, and tight end Chris Herndon.
Wilson will be under the tutelage of head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. Saleh is known for his defensive expertise, while LaFleur is a disciple of the Kyle Shanahan offense. This should give Wilson the tools he needs to succeed in the NFL.
The Jets are hoping that Wilson can be the franchise quarterback they have been looking for. He has all the tools to become a star in the NFL, and the Jets are hoping he can lead them back to the playoffs. It will be exciting to see how Wilson performs in his first season as the starting quarterback for the Jets.
