Jets rookie Garrett Wilson flashes 'that Justin Jefferson vibe'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- A look at what's happening around the New York Jets:

1. Catch a rising star: As an underclassmen at Ohio State, Garrett Wilson watched from afar as two rookie wide receivers became instant NFL stars -- the Minnesota Vikings' Justin Jefferson (2020) and the Cincinnati Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase (2021). Wilson wanted to be them.

"That was my goal," he said. "That's what I planned on doing."

Wilson still has a long way to go, which he acknowledges, but he's off to such a good start that he's drawing comparisons to Jefferson.
