For the first time in Zach Wilson’s young NFL career, the Jets quarterback will be facing the Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Sunday.
The 23-year-old looked up to the four-time NFL MVP as he was growing up, and apparently, Wilson studied Rodgers’s film as a youth working on his game.
Wilson’s father, Mike, posted a photo of the two quarterbacks ahead of Sunday’s game, noting that the matchup is a dream come true for his son.
“Dreams do come true!” the elder Wilson wrote. “I can’t tell you how many times @ZachWilson and I have watched [Rodgers] on tv or studied his every movement on YouTube.
