New York Jets star wide receiver opens up about playing with Aaron Rodgers.
Garrett Wilson and the New York Jets are gearing up for the start of the 2024 NFL season. He is projected to have a tremendous individual year as the Jets enter with ambitions to challenge for a Super Bowl. A huge reason for the massive anticipation surrounding New York is the return of superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
After suffering a torn Achilles just four snaps into the 2023 season, Rodgers is back and looking for payback. He also wants to prove a lot of doubters and naysayers wrong.
So far, he has looked excellent during training camp and Wilson has truly liked playing with him.
Recently, the talented wide receiver commented about playing with Rodgers. It’s apparent that his current situation has restored joy back into the game for him.
“When you got him in front of you and all of a sudden you’re like, this dude can throw anything, he can throw it anyplace. For me, it feels like pure football. It feels like I’m a kid again. I can kind of believe what I see, is the best way to phrase it,” he remarked per Brian Costello of The New York Post.
Wilson also talked up about his relationship with Rodgers. The two chat about a lot of topics to make sure they’re on the same page.
“You absolutely had to talk about it. Being able to have some harder talks, being able to have conversations where he’s telling me what he wants and I’ve got to listen to that and I weigh in on how I feel and then we come to a decision together.”
Clearly, the two players are getting along well and are enthusiastic to play with each other. Rodgers has been pretty candid about his opinions of Wilson. He has even gone as far as to compare him to Davante Adams.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, the Jets’ offensive could be incredibly interesting to watch. With Rodgers and Wilson leading the way, followed by players like Breece Hall and Mike Williams, the sky is the limit for them.
For Wilson, the 24-year-old is eager to have a great season. He is looking at a new contract in the near future and his play on the field will be a significant influence in choosing what kind of deal he gets. The presence of Rodgers is something that Wilson is very much enjoying.
