Former Cincinnati Bengals great Chad Johnson has never been afraid to speak his mind. And his latest opinion may pique some interest in Jets fans.
Johnson recently spoke with Sports Illustrated to discuss a variety of topics, one of which being Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. It’s safe to say Johnson is a fan of Wilson’s game. His comparison for Wilson? Just some guy named Patrick Mahomes.
“Zach is extremely good,” Johnson said in an interview with Sports Illustrated last week. “He has the ‘it’ factor – very Patrick Mahomes-ish. I’m not saying he’s Patrick Mahomes, but you watch his mechanics, his throwing motion, the way he moves, he’s very Patrick Mahomes-ish. So I became a fan. … Zach Wilson is gonna flourish; he’s gonna flourish in New York. It’s all about (Jets head coach Robert) Saleh … getting the right pieces around him. He and Elijah Moore, this year, they gonna create magic.”
