Despite the defeat, Zach Wilson is having the best time of his life. Aaron Rodgers’ successor for the New York Jets is being guided by A-Rod himself. No one would have assumed that the iconic trade of Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers to the Jets would end this way. Rodgers ended his 18 years of tenure with the Packers, only to end his season with the Jets in the first four minutes of the season opener. 

However, in his recovery period, big brother Rodgers is ensuring his younger brother Zach Wilson is commanding the Jets’ offense in the best possible way, by closely keeping in touch with him.

Appreciating Wilson, Rodgers said, “Well, Zach and I talk almost every day. I mean we’re very close and I love him, and I care about him, and I’m and so I’m always checking in with him. So you know how he’s doing um I think you’ve seen a lot of great leadership growth from him. I think our society at times wants to cancel people or label people and keep that label on them regardless of any self-growth or experience that changes your perspective on life.”

The young quarterback is making waves with his promising gameplay. After a disappointing performance, Wilson came back with a promising showdown, where he almost led the Jets to the victory.

However, the season has just started. Despite the series of defeats, Wilson is under the guidance of Rodgers. 4x MVP, Rodgers is nurturing the young QB of the Jets. Even after 39 years old. Rodgers’ recovery, the Jets will be longing for Wilson to set a tone for their future. And with Wilson in their camp, under Rodgers’ guidance, the Jets are geared up to end their Super Bowl drought since 1969.
