Two years ago, the Jets used the No. 2 overall pick of the NFL Draft on Wilson. The quarterback has had a rough start to his career, and last season he was benched in favor of journeyman quarterback Mike White.

If Wilson is still on the roster at the start of the 2023 season, he was expected to be the backup. But now with Rodgers on the team, the 23-year-old's future in New York is even more uncertain.

White left New York and signed with the Miami Dolphins earlier this offseason.

"As long as I can remember playing football, I was a big fan,’’ Wilson said of Rodgers in October.

"We didn’t have an NFL team in Utah, so I wouldn’t say I was a Packers fan, but I was just an Aaron Rodgers fan. I grew up watching him. He was the quarterback I tried to replicate and steal things from. I like the way he plays the game.’’
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Wilson has even talked about how he emulated parts of Rodgers' game.
"A little bit of everything. He’s extremely accurate underneath. The way he’s able to place the ball, and you see his completion percentage, how he takes care of the ball. And then he’s able to be that athletic, scramble-type quarterback a little bit, off schedule, being able to create plays out of nothing while protecting himself," Wilson said.
