FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Zach Wilson welcomed the challenge. During the run-up to the 2021 draft, he knew all about the New York Jets' suspect reputation with young quarterbacks. People in his own camp expressed serious reservations about him going to New York, sources with direct knowledge said, but Wilson told them he'd be able to overcome the franchise's star-crossed history.
He was wrong about the Jets, and the Jets were wrong about him.
As expected, Wilson -- the No. 2 overall pick that year -- was traded after three disappointing seasons, landing with the Denver Broncos on Monday for a swap of sixth- and seventh-round picks.
