Zach Wilson cracks joke about his own height in photo with Eli Manning

Critics of Zach Wilson claim that he has a lot to learn as he enters his second season as the New York Jets franchise quarterback. Fortunately, he’s appeared to have turned to some reliable sources that know to succeed in the tri-state area gridiron.

Wilson’s most recent Instagram story, documenting his time at an apparent memorabilia event, revealed that he came face-to-face with Lawrence Taylor and Eli Manning, legends of the Jets’ blue MetLife Stadium co-tenants that have united to win four Super Bowls.

The current Jets thrower is grateful in his post with Taylor, not for the photo opportunity, but rather that “he’s not playing anymore,” accompanied by a sweating, panicked emoji.
