Zach Wilson has been assured he will emerge from the “humbling” situation he is facing this season as a better player.
Wilson was drafted with the No.2 overall pick by the New York Jets in 2021 and was supposed to be their quarterback for the future. But he struggled during his first two seasons, prompting a trade with the Green Bay Packers for Aaron Rodgers.
It means Wilson faces the blow of being relegated to second string - but former Jets safety Erik Coleman is adamant it will be helpful for Wilson based on his own experiences as a young player.
