New York Jets had humiliating reason for dropping Zach Wilson as NFL star axed

Zach Wilson Jets New York Jets NFL Robert Saleh New York New England Patriots Patriots Mike White Ian Rapoport

The New York Jets were forced to bench quarterback Zach Wilson after head coach Robert Saleh realised he couldn’t best position the team to win with the sophomore starting.

Wilson was selected by the Jets with the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and played in 13 games as a rookie. He helped the Jets to a 4-13 record as he personally went 3-10, throwing for 2,334 yards and nine touchdowns while also tossing 11 interceptions.

However, he has thrown just four touchdowns and five interceptions in 2022. Wilson also performed particularly poorly in the loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday, completing just nine passes for 77 yards despite the impressive play from the Jets defence.
