INDIANAPOLIS — Make no mistake: The future belongs to Zach Wilson, and everything that happens as far as long-term planning goes will be devoted to the Jets’ No. 2 overall pick.
The present? Well, let’s just say that Mike White made that an open question with Sunday’s 405-yard, three-touchdown performance in a stunning 34-31 upset of the Bengals. It was an extraordinary performance; his 37 completions were the most by a quarterback in his first start, and his jersey and a game ball have been placed on display this week at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
But let’s not mistake White for a latter-day Tom Brady just yet, shall we?
