FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson appears to have a clear path to the starting job, but he doesn't expect to be handed a freebie.
"In this position, the coaches want to play the best player. That position has to be earned," the second overall pick said Saturday on the second day of rookie minicamp. "I have to do what I'm supposed to do. That'll take care of itself."
Wilson said starting is "important" to him, but not the priority. He said his main focus is learning the offense and getting acclimated to his new teammates.
