The New York Jets might just win it all this season! With the addition of Aaron Rodgers to the team’s roster, they’ve become the center of NFL buzz, and it’s all for the best reasons. However, it’s all about the backup quarterback recently, who has learned from the best, and is looking to clinch the top spot for himself, amidst preseason game heroics.

The backup in question is no other than Zach Wilson, who totally owned the preseason showdown against the Panthers with a spectacular 27-0 victory. Following the victory, the QB appeared at a press conference, interestingly dubbing the team’s defensive roster as ‘psychos’.

Is it Aaron Rodgers’ impact?

Wilson wrapped up the game with a solid 14-of-20, making 124 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions, plus just one sack. A great finish with standout teamwork. But everyone’s eyes were locked on Wilson for an amazing touchdown pass. What’s interesting is that it reminded folks of A-Rod’s signature move from his Green Bay days.

Following the resounding victory, Wilson appeared in a press conference, where a reporter had asked about his defensive roster, which he faced in practice every day. Wilson started with, “Those guys are psychos man!” Then he talked about how they’re trained to be dominant in a unique way, giving props to the team’s head coach, Robert Saleh, for his guidance. He wrapped it up by saying, “I think those guys are doing an awesome job, and it’s big for our team to have that.”

As videos of the mimicked touchdown and the press conference hit the internet, fans quickly jumped into the comments to share their thoughts.

Rodgers for a Nobel prize!

Wilson’s touchdown video stirred up a variety of responses from fans. Some noticed the team’s growth under A-Rod’s influence, while others didn’t find the performance all that impressive. One of the fans playfully quipped, “If Zach becomes a half decent QB after Aaron retires Aaron needs a Nobel prize”

Another fan chimed in, commenting on the press conference video, “Aaron Rodgers was the best thing to happen to this kid!”

One of the fans was clearly offended by the hype, writing, “People really think the post is hyping up the throw.. if you don’t see the rodgers technique idk y’all are casuals.”

A fan applauded Wilson, commenting, “The Kid is handling himself so much better in pressers.”

Lastly, a fan penned a sweet note to the backup QB, writing, “Honestly the best thing for him he has too much talent and I think will be a pro bowl qb”

There’s a strong belief that A-Rod will lead the Jets to big success this season, thanks to a solid roster and a capable backup. Wilson could also step up as a starter when the 4-time MVP eventually moves on.
