While his pro football career hasn’t started the way he hoped, Jets quarterback Zach Wilson is essentially set for life thanks to his athletic ability. But if things don’t work out on the gridiron? The man already has a backup plan in place.
Wilson was selected second overall by Gang Green in the 2021 NFL Draft. He then signed a four-year, $35-plus million deal that was fully guaranteed, including a $22 million signing bonus. So, yea — as long as he manages his money appropriately, he doesn’t have to “work” another day in his life.
He’s going to try and eventually become a starting NFL quarterback again.
