FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – It’s not often that a rookie is voted a team captain. But the Jets players named quarterback Zach Wilson one of their captains.
Robert Saleh said Wilson and receiver Corey Davis were picked as offensive captains, linebacker C.J. Mosley and tackle Foley Fatukasi are the defensive captains and Justin Hardee from special teams. Saleh also said each week there would be one nomination from the coaching staff.
Wilson, the No. 2 pick in the draft, has impressed everyone in the organization with his work ethic, approach and demeanor. Saleh said he wasn’t entirely surprised Wilson was named a captain, but he did react to it.
