Wilson ended his 3-year college career with 7,652 passing yards and 56 passing TDs against 15 interceptions. He is regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects along with the likes of Justin Fields (Ohio State University), Trey Lance (NDSU), Mac Jones (Alabama Crimson Tide Football Team), and Kyle Trask (University of Florida).

The Jets, under the tutelage of new Head Coach Robert Saleh, are looking to turn things around in the coming months. They are looking to part ways with their current starting quarterback Sam Darnold who has endured a tough time in New York over the last three years.

They were expected to bring in Fields as the number two pick but Wilson has moved ahead in the Draft list. The Jets were also linked with a potential trade deal for wantaway Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson.

But it seems like they are not going to pursue that avenue and move in for the young starlet instead. How do you think Wilson will fare for the Jets if they end up drafting him in April? Tell us in the comments below.
