When you’re a first-round pick for the New York Jets, you become an instant celebrity in New York.
When you’re the Offensive Rookie of the Year after having been a first-round pick, you’re a mega-star.
That’s the treatment Jets receiver Garrett Wilson receives in the metropolitan area. He deserves it after putting up 83 receptions, 1,103 yards, and four touchdowns in his rookie season.
So when Wilson attended a Knicks game courtside, the Garden celebrated him in due course. Wilson rewarded the crowd with his trademark ear-to-ear smile, the one that endeared him to Jets fans immediately upon his draft selection.
