Zach Wilson’s Arrival Is Just Enough to Stoke Jets’ Dreams

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — As Zach Wilson flew on a red-eye flight from California to the East Coast early Thursday morning, he reclined in one of those premier seats that converts into a bed. He got plenty of sleep, he said.

The harsh wake-up came on Friday morning against N.F.L. defenders on the brilliant green grass of the Jets’ practice field.

Wilson, the young quarterback the Jets hope will eventually lead them to a second Super Bowl in more than half a century, had a rough inauguration on his first day of N.F.L. training camp.
