Garrett Wilson is already considered a wide receiver that had a breakout season as a rookie in 2022 with the New York Jets, and he’s caught the attention of many entering the 2023 season. With Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback now, Torry Holt mentioned Wilson as his favorite young wideout to watch on “Good Morning Football”.

Wilson hauled in 83 of his 147 targets for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns in 2022, earning him Offensive Rookie of the Year honors. The Ohio State product recorded these numbers despite having Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco, and Mike White targeting him through the air.
The Jets now have Rodgers orchestrating the offense and Wilson is expected to be the go-to target for the four-time MVP. The second-year wideout suffered an ankle injury early in training camp, but he’s since returned to practice and doesn’t appear to be dealing with anything serious.
There are a plethora of talented young pass catchers in the NFL, especially with each draft class producing a couple of potential stars in recent years. So for someone like Holt — who had 920 receptions and 13,382 receiving yards in his legendary career — to praise Wilson before his second season with the Jets, you have a feeling that the 10th overall pick from a year ago is primed for a special season in 2023.
