“This organization is going to lift you, not the other way around.”
That’s what New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh told quarterback Zach Wilson in his first conversation with the BYU product after he officially became the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft.

Maccagnan, who served as the Jets’ general manager from 2015 to 2019, spewed a similar string of cliches when discussing his plan to support former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold.
