Hopes of the New York Jets and their fans are renewed. After Aaron Rodgers’ injury in the season opener against the Buffalo Bills, the high anticipation surrounding the Jets plunged suddenly.

However, to an extent, hopes are reignited with the Jets’ new QB1.

After suffering an injury in the first four minutes of the game, A-Rod made his way to the sidelines. To fill in Rodgers’ place, Zach Wilson took the lead of the team, displaying a promising performance. And now he has a comforting message for all the Jets’ fans before their next matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
