Analysts and experts projected Wilson to be a Top-3 quarterback pick in the draft and currently expect him to go #2 overall to the New York Jets. But from this one play, you’d think he was destined for the Kansas City Chiefs.

The NFL Twitter account posted an interesting side-by-side clip today. One side of the clip shows Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs throwing a jaw-dropping, but subtle, underhanded flip pass in an old game of his.

The second clip saw BYU stand-out Zach Wilson throw an almost identical pass to his teammate. Both passes ended with the receiver getting the ball and running it into the end-zone.

Zach Wilson has drawn several pro-comparisons during early scouting. The most notable of those have been to Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. Few even believe that he is a hybrid between the two.
