Chad Johnson on Jets' Zach Wilson: 'He Has the ‘It’ Factor–Very Patrick Mahomes-ish'
If New York Jets fans are looking for reasons to be optimistic about Zach Wilson in 2022, all they need to do is ask former Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated's Craig Ellenport, Johnson said Wilson "has the ‘it’ factor" and is "very Patrick Mahomes-ish" with the way he moves and his throwing mechanics.
"Zach Wilson is gonna flourish; he’s gonna flourish in New York," Johnson added. "It’s all about (Jets head coach Robert) Saleh … getting the right pieces around him. He and Elijah Moore, this year, they gonna create magic."
