Joe Namath on New York Jets rookie Zach Wilson: 'You gotta believe'

1. Stamp of approval: It's a long-standing beat writer tradition that spans decades. Whenever the Jets unveil a rookie quarterback, which happens far too often, you call Jets great and Pro Football Hall of Famer Joe Namath to get his take on the kid. He's the only member of the franchise's royal family of quarterbacks, so his words still matter.

And Broadway Joe is bullish on Zach Wilson, whom he watched closely in the preseason. He also studied some of his college tape.
