Zach Wilson named a dark horse to lead the NFL in a major category

The national media’s bubbly feelings for the 2022 New York Jets are still in full swing.

As the offseason barrels on and fans get their first looks at the new additions to the roster, hot takes keep coming left and right. One take stood out on Saturday about second-year quarterback Zach Wilson.

Alex Kay of Bleacher Report put out a slew of picks for “dark horse” 2022 leaders in major offensive categories. Among them, he proposed Wilson to be a surprise prospect to lead the NFL in passing touchdowns. This would be the first time a Jets quarterback accomplished the feat, and would certainly be a part of a massive year two leap for the young signal-caller if achieved.
