Chad Johnson compares Jets’ Zach Wilson to superstar NFL QB

Zach Wilson didn’t give Jets fans much to love in 2021. Underwhelming on-field performances and a knee injury sparked a rookie year to forget.

There are still supporters of the young quarterback though. There remains belief the BYU kid can be the organization’s top signal-caller since the Joe Namath days.

Chad Johnson is taking it a step further.

From Sports Illustrated:

Zach is extremely good. He has the ‘it’ factor — very Patrick Mahomes-ish,” the former NFL receiver said. “I’m not saying he’s Patrick Mahomes, but you watch his mechanics, his throwing motion, the way he moves, he’s very Patrick Mahomes-ish.
