Zach Wilson grew up watching and patterning some of his game after Aaron Rodgers. Now the Jets’ rookie quarterback will get to see up close how Rodgers operates.

The Jets will have joint practices with the Packers on Wednesday and Thursday in Green Bay, leading up to Saturday’s preseason game at Lambeau Field.

It’s an opportunity for the entire team to see how a perennial playoff team and Super Bowl contender practices and for Wilson how a three-time MVP goes about his work.
