Despite rocky seasons for Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence and Jets' Zach Wilson, 2022 offers a brighter future

Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson meet Sunday in a rare matchup -- only the fourth time in the common-draft era (since 1967) that quarterbacks drafted first and second overall are facing each other as rookies.

Unlike the first three, Lawrence and Wilson are squaring off late in the season, meaning they have been banged around and scuffed up. They have experienced the hardships of rebuilding, as their respective teams -- the Jacksonville Jaguars and New York Jets -- are a combined 5-23. No one said the franchise-savior business is easy.
