2021 NFL draft Q&A: Zach Wilson or Justin Fields for the Jets at No. 2?

With the New York Jets dropping to the No. 2 slot in the 2021 NFL draft (for now), fans have turned their attention to the two prospects leading the conversation after Trevor Lawrence, Ohio State’s Justin Fields and BYU’s Zach Wilson.

Many Jets fans caught their first glimpse of Wilson against UCF this past Tuesday. Wilson blew up Twitter with a marvelous performance—26-for-34 (76.5 completion percentage) with five total touchdowns and zero turnovers. In his best game of the season, Zach had a season-high 98.5 QBR (ESPN’s total quarterback rating).
