Zach Wilson practice details emerge explaining why New York Jets signed Aaron Rodgers

Zach Wilson's red zone struggles could have been why the New York Jets signed Aaron Rodgers in April. During OTA practice, Wilson completed 2 out of 4 passes, with zero touchdowns for the day. Contrarily, Rodgers left energised NFL fans and the coaching staff in awe after connecting with Garrett Wilson on an over-the-shoulder throw that resulted in a score.

While the sample size of a single OTA practice isn't enough to grade Wilson's progress, his inconsistencies at the quarterback position throughout his two-year NFL career have found him in and out of the plans with the Jets.

As things currently stand, the former second overall pick has maintained a less than stellar 70.9 quarterback rating, with a 55.5 completion percentage. Although Rodgers is coming off a less-than-impressive season compared to previous years, his ability to accurately push the ball down the field will pay dividends in a new-look Jets offence, who have compiled a young core of promising and speedy wide receivers.
