With Aaron Rodgers joining the Jets this season, Zach Wilson, who started the last two seasons, will serve as backup quarterback.
So, how has Wilson been fitting into this role? Rodgers answered that question on Wednesday, expressing that this time as a backup will be good for Wilson.
“He has played really, really well in camp,” Rodgers said, via Pro Football Talk. “He’s made a number of great throws. He looks confident. His fundamentals are improving. He’s throwing the ball on time. He’s got all the intangibles. ... I think he’ll look back years from now and be really thankful for this time to grow, to reset, to take a breath, and it’s gonna set him up for a nice long career in the league.”
