Zach Wilson earned his place as the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft based on his ability on the field.

The Jets’ new franchise quarterback wowed Gang Green brass with his strong arm, off-platform throws and exceptional athleticism. Wilson’s football personality also includes being a competitive workaholic. But when he wasn’t locked into throwing touchdowns at BYU, he also showed off his empathetic side.

“Zach’s done so many videos where he sends people his love,” BYU head coach Kalani Sitake says of a program the team has called “True Blue Heroes” where players reach out to families in need.
