Before I begin, learn how to play quarterback the "Nittany Lion Way" with Penn State head coach James Franklin himself. Learn how to play the quarterback position and get insight on what he looks for in a quarterback. You can purchase his tutorial here. Since being selected with the 11th overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft by the New York Jets, Garrett Wilson has played up to expectations--perhaps exceeded them. |
I remember an analyst compared to him Hall of Famer Lynn Swann after he was picked, but he reminds me more of (2024 Hall of Fame finalist) Torry Holt. They're around the same size, but where he reminds me of Torry in particular is the way he consistently uses his hands to catch passes, even in traffic. He surpassed 1,000 yards receiving his rookie season, and has done it again this season. He has surpassed 1,000 yards receiving two years in a row with garbage quarterback play. Last year, he had Zach Wilson and Joe Flacco--who looked like he needed to retire in New York, but has somehow found the fountain of youth in Cleveland--at quarterback. This year, he had (sigh) Zach Wilson, Tim Boyle, and Trevor Siemian at quarterback. I'm not saying he's on the level of a Davante Adams or Justin Jefferson as of yet, but what he has been able to accomplish so far speaks volumes of his talent level. |
