The New York Jets’ 2023 season appears to have taken a toll on wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
The Jets entered the season fresh off the acquisition of four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers with Super Bowl aspirations weighing heavily on a roster laden with young talent such as Wilson. But any hopes of hoisting a Lombardi were dashed after Rodgers tore his right Achilles tendon on the team’s first drive of the season.
To the chagrin of Wilson and others, the Jets’ offense struggled mightily without Rodgers, as they turned to three different quarterbacks in hopes of sparking a unit that ultimately stood in stark contrast to their defense, one of the better units in the league.
