2024 NFL DRAFT: 5 QBS DRAFTED, JETS ADD BOWERS IN NICK WRIGHT’S FINAL MOCK DRAFT
Wilson was thrust into the starting quarterback role early in 2023 when Aaron Rodgers went down with a torn Achilles. However, it was a last gasp to try to prove his value to the Jets. He was 4-7 in 11 starts and had 2,271 passing yards along with eight touchdown passes and seven interceptions.
Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick by the Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft, never panned out as the organization hoped he would.
Now, he gets a fresh start with an organization that has a wide-open quarterbacks room at the moment with Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci in the building.
Denver also has the 12th overall pick in the upcoming draft. Sean Payton will look to put a disappointing 2023 run behind him and start building his team for a run in 2024.
