Zach Wilson was selected second overall by the New York Jets in 2021. In the process, he became the highest drafted BYU player in program history.
Needless to say, the pressure was on right from the start.
Unfortunately, Wilson dealt with plenty of adversity in his rookie year in the NFL. The Jets, as a whole, were a terrible football team. They ranked 28th in scoring offense and dead last in points allowed on defense.
Wilson certainly is not free of blame for the Jets’ poor play and 4-13 record. Among 33 qualified passers last season, Wilson ranked dead last at 33rd in passer rating and completion percentage.
