BYU Alums in the NFL: Week 17 Recap, Zach Wilson Holds His Own vs. Defending Champs

BYU alums showed out once again in the NFL in Week 17. The Cougars boast two starting quarterbacks in the league at the moment.

The 4-12 Jets certainly had their work cut out for them against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady. For most of the afternoon at MetLife Stadium, Wilson went toe-to-toe with the greatest quarterback of all-time. The Jets actually built a 24-10 lead over Tampa in the third quarter. Wilson looked as comfortable as he has ever looked in the NFL to this point, fitting accurate throws into tight windows and making the right decisions most of the time.
