Never one to shy away from bold statements, former Pro Bowl wide receiver Chad Johnson is predicting greatness for New York Jets second-year quarterback Zach Wilson – going so far as to compare him to former NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes. Should fantasy managers take notice?
Johnson knows a thing or two about NFL quarterbacks making a big leap in their second season. After a so-so rookie campaign in 2004, former Bengals signal caller Carson Palmer led the league with 32 TD passes a year later. Still a few years before he changed his name to Ochocinco, Johnson was a big factor in Palmer’s success.
