Since the days of Joe Namath, the New York Jets have been searching for their next star, franchise-changing quarterback.
Many have been tapped for the role. Some, like Vinny Testaverde and Chad Pennington, found moderate success, while others, like Sam Darnold and Geno Smith, were immediate failures.
Zach Wilson was the latest quarterback called upon by the Jets to fill that role. Taken with the second pick in the 2021 draft out of Brigham Young University, 6’2’’ Wilson had sky-high expectations entering the league.
