FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Zach Wilson was in the middle of the locker room Thursday talking about taking over for the injured Aaron Rodgers when a teammate shouted and made the New York Jets quarterback grin.
Wilson struggled mightily during his first two NFL seasons and his confidence took a massive hit, and so did his popularity in the locker room.
The way he’s carrying himself around the locker room, around the building is awesome.”Wilson feels it in himself, too.
Many Jets fans remain skeptical Wilson has made significant enough progress to step in for a team that had Super Bowl hopes with Rodgers.
The Jets want Wilson to play free, knowing the team is his — again — and he doesn't need to look over his shoulder.
