New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson enjoyed a solid finish to his rookie year after a tumultuous start. After returning from a four-week absence in Week 12, Wilson showcased tangible progress in many areas over his final seven starts, including poise, confidence, decision-making, and accuracy.
Wilson did not only improve the aerial aspects of his game. He progressed on the ground, too.
Rushing was a minimal part of Wilson’s game at the beginning of the year. Wilson rushed eight times for 22 yards and no touchdowns over his first six starts, ranking 38th among quarterbacks in rushing yards and 33rd in rushing attempts.
