New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas admits the team have mishandled struggling quarterback prospect Zach Wilson, agreeing with head coach Robert Saleh that the third-year prospect is in a better situation to succeed in Aaron Rodgers' shadow.
Former BYU gunslinger Wilson has failed to deliver as desired since being taken with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, with 15 touchdowns, 18 interceptions and a quarterback rating of 71 from his 22 starts for the Jets.
And after being benched down the stretch last season, it seemed Wilson's time in the Meadowlands was coming to a premature end with the franchise bringing in four-time MVP Rodgers in an off-season trade with the Green Bay Packers.
