New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson had a roller-coaster rookie season that finished on a high note but ultimately fell short of the expectations most fans had for him from a production standpoint.
The most glaring number in Wilson’s 2021 stat-line is the “9” situated in the “TD” column. Wilson launched only nine touchdown passes in 13 starts. Considering he threw 383 passes, just 2.3% of Wilson’s passes were touchdowns. Among qualified quarterbacks, only Sam Darnold (2.2%) and Trevor Lawrence (2.0%) had a worse rate.
Why did Wilson struggle so much in this department, and how can he get better at hurling six-pointers in 2022?
