Less than 18 months ago, Zach Wilson was the next great hope for the New York Jets - the man to turn around a once great NFL franchise that has become a laughing stock over the past few decades.
Drafted with the second overall pick from BYU, Wilson had been seen as one of the more talented passers entering the draft in years after dazzling at his pro workout, most notably showing off his arm strength when throwing a 70-yard bomb whilst on the move in front of Jets' general manager.
After the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Trevor Lawrence, the Jets rushed to the podium to select Wilson, just three years after selecting Sam Darnold and moving on from him after he was seen as the future of the franchise. Darnold would be traded to the Carolina Panthers, making Wilson the man.
