Zach Wilson wants more snaps in final dress rehearsal

Florham Park, N.J. – Yes, Zach Wilson has a problem with his playing time in the preseason. At a time when many quarterbacks shun the idea of seeing action in games and coaches are consumed by fear of getting their passers injured, Wilson is a bit of a throwback.

He wants to play MORE.

"I wish I could play the whole game," the Jets’ No. 2 overall pick said Wednesday after a second day of joint practices with the Eagles.

That will never happen, of course. Nor should it. Wilson is simply too valuable to the Jets to go the entire way in games that don’t matter in the standings.
