With future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffering a season-ending injury in just his fourth play as the quarterback of the New York Jets, the team now hands the reins back to Zach Wilson, who has struggled mightily throughout his first two seasons in the league. But it sounds like the Jets still have faith in him.
During a press conference this week, New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett made it clear that the Jets have seen some progress from Zach Wilson and that his mistakes are in the past.
“That’s the past,” Hackett said according to SNY. “This is the future. This is a guy that’s been training his butt off and learning a new system and growing within it. I think everybody can say they have seen him grow. And that’s all we can do, every game. There’s gonna be ups and downs with all quarterbacks and with all players, especially young players. There’s always gonna be questions. For me as a coach, I just want to keep teaching him. I just want him to feel more and more comfortable and keep growing.”
We’ll have to see how Wilson performs this season. But all signs point to Rodgers attempting to play again next season.
