FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Before his injury, quarterback Aaron Rodgers served as a day-to-day mentor to Zach Wilson. Now the New York Jets are counting on that relationship to boost Wilson as he assumes the starting job.
Wilson, who will start Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium, said he's "absolutely" a better player because of what he has learned from Rodgers.
"I feel like I've been trying to copy every little thing he's doing, from his footwork to the coaching tips he has given us," Wilson said Thursday.
