New York Jets rookie QB Zach Wilson tosses two TDs in near-perfect showing

New York Jets rookie Zach Wilson continued his strong preseason, delivering a near-perfect performance Saturday against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

The No. 2 overall draft pick finished with a 154.7 passer rating, completing nine of 11 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns.

Wilson was sharp and poised, showing an ability to see the entire field -- not easy for some rookie quarterbacks. He led the starting offense to two touchdowns and a field goal in four possessions, yielding to backup Mike White in the final minute of the first half.
