The story of how the Jets somehow made a worse NFL Draft pick than Zach Wilson

The New York Jets have an unfortunate and lengthy history when it comes to draft busts. For many younger fans, 2021 No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson may feel like the epitome of what it means to be a draft bust after his disastrous three-year tenure with the Jets.
