Tenth overall pick Garrett Wilson is off to a torrid start. The New York Jets’ prized rookie leads the team in targets (32), receptions (18), receiving yards (214), and total touchdowns (2).
Wilson’s numbers compare favorably across the league. He leads all rookies in receptions. Among all players in the league, Wilson is 19th in both receptions and receiving yards.
As stellar as all of these numbers are, they actually undersell how well Wilson is playing.
We already broke down some clips of Wilson’s teammate, Elijah Moore, getting open and being missed by quarterback Joe Flacco.
