In 2022, Garrett Wilson made a strong first impression as a Jets receiver and was named the AP offensive rookie of the year. He demonstrated his ability as a playmaker by catching 83 catches for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns.
He must adjust to a new offence run by quarterback Aaron Rodgers and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett this season, which will present him with a fresh challenge. From the Packers, the pair moved to the Jets, bringing their expertise and success to New York.
Wilson claimed that because the new system is built on the same West Coast ideas as the one that was in place under Mike LaFleur, he hasn’t had any problem understanding it. He recognised that he had to be aware of some distinctions, particularly while dealing with Rodgers, though.
Wilson also expressed his happiness in playing with Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, two former Packers receivers. He said that they have been useful in educating him about the offence’s complexities and providing him with advice on how to play with Rodgers.
Wilson expects to outperform his rookie statistics as he looks forward to developing a rapport with Rodgers and his new colleagues. The Jets’ offence, he claimed, will be explosive and exciting in 2023.
Robert Saleh, who took over as head coach of the Jets in 2022 and guided them to a 10-7 record and a wild-card berth, was also commended by him. He said that Saleh has given him a great deal of trust and freedom on the field, as well as instilling an atmosphere of accountability and positivism in the locker room.
