While Zach Wilson is recovering from knee surgery, Jets receivers will be catching passes from Joe Flacco in the next few weeks when working with the first-team offense. Wilson and Flacco both have strong arms, but they’re different types of quarterbacks – especially at this point in each’s career.
Rookie receiver Garrett Wilson was asked about the difference between catching passes from Wilson and Flacco, and he noted the way Flacco throws a “receiver-friendly” ball. He explained what makes it receiver-friendly, and though it’s not an indictment on Wilson, it does seem Flacco knows how to make passes easier for his receivers to catch.
