One major statistical strength and weakness for each New York Jets rookie

Zach Wilson, QB

Greatest strength: Deep passing

On throws that traveled 20+ yards downfield in 2020, Wilson completed 35 of 56 attempts for 1,286 yards, 12 touchdowns, and two interceptions. Here are some of his metrics on those throws and where they ranked out of 125 qualified FBS quarterbacks:

  • 131.0 passer rating: 5th
  • 23.0 yards per attempt: 3rd
  • 99.9 Pro Football Focus grade: 1st
  • 67.9% adjusted completion percentage (accounts for drops): 2nd
Greatest weakness: Under-pressure passing

Wilson did not have bad numbers when under pressure, but he had much better rankings when he was kept clean than when he was under pressure.
