Jets’ Joe Douglas remains confident Zach Wilson will hit his ‘very high’ ceiling

INDIANAPOLIS — The Jets once again doubled down on their belief in Zach Wilson’s future even as the search for his replacement at quarterback.

General supervisor Joe Douglas, who prepared Wilson 2nd general in 2021, spoke at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday about the group’s prepare for the third-year QB under brand-new offending organizer Nathaniel Hackett and passing video game organizer Todd Downing.

 “I understand in talking with Nathaniel and Todd and our personnel, they’re so fired up to get with Zach and begin working, Douglas stated. “I understand they’ve had some favorable conversations.

 “Again, our position on Zach hasn’t altered. We seem like Zach has a really high ceiling. Obviously, the very first 2 years sanctuary’t played out the method anyone hoped, however we still seem like there’s a really high ceiling with Zach.”

Despite the Jets going 5-4 in the video games Wilson began last season, the BYU item had a hard time strongly in his 2nd season, finishing simply 54.5 percent of his passed for 1,688 backyards, 6 goals and 7 interceptions.

He was benched for Mike White after a diasterous getaway in a loss to the Patriots in Week 10.

Wilson’s regression is what has the win-now Jets — who ended up 7-10 after beginning 7-4 — in the market for a veteran QB. Gang Green have actually had initial discuss trading for the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers and have actually consulted with totally free representative quarterback Derek Carr. It all leaves Wilson’s function with the Jets a bit dirty.  

That, nevertheless, doesn’t appear to have actually altered the Jets’ self-confidence in what Wilson still can end up being in the NFL.

“In my time in the league, I’ve discovered when gamers enjoy this video game and when gamers work their tails off, they normally hit their ceiling,” Douglas stated. “So, I seem like Zach certainly has those qualities. I still feel highly that Zach’s going to have the ability to hit his ceiling.”
