Garrett Wilson is facing a season where he could potentially join the best wide receivers in the NFL. The New York Jets wide receiver has been a standout during his first two NFL seasons with the New York Jets.
But Jets head coach Robert Saleh believes there is still another level that Wilson can reach in his career.
Wilson, a first round pick of the Jets in the 2022 NFL draft. He has topped 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons in the league.
The former Ohio State standout has lived up to the hype coming out of the Big Ten.
Last year, he had 95 catches for 1,042 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Impressive numbers, despite the quarterback issues on the Jets last year.
With a healthy Aaron Rodgers, it is not unreasonable to think that Wilson can have his first All-Pro season in 2024.
“I’m just excited whenever he’s on the field, I’ll be honest with you. He’s an electric personality,” Saleh told reporters on Saturday.
“He gets fiery. Has the biggest smile that he has when he puts a helmet on and he gets into a competitive battle, it what makes all these guys special. He flips the switch, and he becomes something that’s completely different, but as long as he continues to come out here and do his best every day, I think the sky’s the limit for him.”
