Expectations are quite clear for Jets quarterback Zach Wilson entering Week 6 of the 2022 season. He will meet his football idol Aaron Rodgers, and the passer seems pretty excited after winning two crucial knocks for the side in style.

The second-year quarterback Zach Wilson has started working, winning the praises of management and his offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. His fourth-quarter comeback drives against the Steelers and the latest against Miami Dolphins have increased the expectations of the Jets fanbase.

While on the other side, Aaron Rodgers, who is coming off after an international loss against the Giants in London, will look forward to securing a win to keep their playoff aspirations alive.

Wilson had recently spoken about his intentions to play Rodgers on Sunday. He couldn’t stop fanboying the veteran quarterback whom he admired since childhood. “As long as I can remember playing football, I was a big fan,’’ Wilson said of Rodgers.

“We didn’t have an NFL team in Utah, so I wouldn’t say I was a Packers fan, but I was just an Aaron Rodgers fan. I grew up watching him. He was the quarterback I tried to replicate and steal things from. I like the way he plays the game,’’ he added.

Interestingly, the 23-year-old BYU product was part of the camp held last year and being a rookie, he closely monitored Rodgers’ gameplay and his on-field presence. He explained that moment was really cool for him to watch the veteran pulling out crazy plays and revealed that he tried replicating his throws and footsteps throughout the game.

What did Zach Wilson learn from Aaron Rodgers?

The Packers QB is playing in the 18th NFL season of his career. No wonder, he has seen several athletes making a career out of this league. Wilson, in the interview, revealed that he followed Rodgers since he was 13. When asked what skills he acquired from the quarterback, he listed them all one by one.

“A little bit of everything. He’s extremely accurate underneath.” Wilson said. “The way he’s able to place the ball, and you see his completion percentage, how he takes care of the ball, and then he’s able to be that athletic, scramble-type quarterback a little bit, off-schedule, being able to create plays out of nothing while protecting himself,” he added.
