Quarterback Zach Wilson flashes arm strength for Jets brass, NFL teams at pro day

BYU quarterback Zach Wilson, widely projected as the second overall pick in next month's NFL draft, delivered an impressive pro day Friday as three teams with top-12 picks made trades that could impact the quarterback order.

With 31 teams represented in Provo, Utah -- all but the Los Angeles Rams -- Wilson displayed the arm strength that sparked his breakout season for the Cougars. He dazzled with a few off-balance throws that went 50 yards.

"The goal today was to kind of show what makes me different, the type of throws I can make that I feel like other guys don't practice and don't try to do," Wilson said afterward on a zoom call.
