Second-year leap? Quarterback Zach Wilson is entering year two and is expected to improve. He’s now in his second year under offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur’s watch. General manager Joe Douglas also greatly improved this roster in the offseason to benefit Wilson, signing Laken Tomlinson to play left guard and bringing in numerous weapons via free agency and the draft.
