FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The play happened in the New York Jets' next-to-last practice. In a 7-on-7 period, rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson ran an intermediate crossing route and made a twisting catch on a pass from quarterback Zach Wilson that was behind him. It wasn't a textbook route by Wilson, slightly out of position, but he demonstrated such concentration and body control that he was able to adjust and make a big play.
A play that could serve as a harbinger for the ballyhooed Class of '22: Their top four draftees, learning on the fly, might veer off script at times, but they can compensate with pure talent.
