Stephen A. Smith was angry with Marcus Spears for suggesting that the Pats could finish last in the East. There is a time and a place for it.
The New York Jets expect a bigger and better Wilson. He checked the big box.
The second-year quarterback gained weight with the help of a chef and a nutritionist, and he reported to the team this week at 221 pounds. There is some serious will power.
Wilson told reporters after the Jets first open practice that he has a bad sweet tooth.
Wilson has eliminated cookies, cakes and other temptations from his diet. He said good weight can be achieved by proportion management and eating at the right time.
He said he felt better for sure. When we get hit and tackled in a game, having more size on me will help.
Wilson has one of his best attributes, his quickness in the pocket. He doesn't believe the weight gain will affect his ability to evade pass-rushers. He wants his playing weight to be 218 by the start of the season.
He said that he feels like he is a better athlete with more weight on.
The Jets, who drafted Wilson second overall in 2021, expect him to grow mentally in Year 2.
He looks good, he is confident, he is smiling, and he is vocal.
Wilson had a difficult first season. He was the 30th qualified passer in Total QBR. He was a starter and went 3-10) with 2,334 yards, nine touchdown, 11 interceptions and a 55.6% completion rate.
The front office signed tight ends C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin, as well as drafting a wide receiver and a running back.
Wilson has a young, talented supporting cast.
The entire staff, from the GM to ownership, have done a great job of getting the pieces we need, he said. I have to get these people the ball. How can I get these big tight ends, these really good receivers and these running backs to do what we brought them here to do?
The Jets are projected to win only 5.5 games, but there is a lot of optimism around the team after its strong draft.
Wilson said that they are definitely going to be better. We have the talent and the guys. Can we tie it all together and put something together?
