Perhaps no player has been connected to the NY Jets more often this draft season than BYU quarterback Zach Wilson. And with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Jets will have a prime opportunity to make him their next quarterback.

Wilson is a former three-star recruit who turned down offers from a host of Power-5 schools to stay local and attend BYU. The 2017 runner-up for Utah’s Mr. Football Award became the youngest QB to start a game at BYU in his freshman season when he suited up against Hawaii.
