Garrett Wilson has no Jets remorse as losses proceed to mount
Garrett Wilson didn’t should signal a contract extension. He wasn’t pressured to commit additional to the Jets and ink that four-year, $130 million deal previous to coaching camp.
However in doing so, the standout receiver was making it identified he needed to be a part of the answer for the star-crossed franchise.
4 losses to begin the season hasn’t modified Wilson’s mindset.
“I adore it right here, man,” he stated Thursday, because the winless Jets continued preparations for Sunday’s contest in opposition to the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium. “These individuals have purchased into me since I used to be a school child. That is the place I wish to be. That is the place I wish to win at.”
Wilson is off to a terrific begin, with 27 catches for 311 yards and three touchdowns. He’s trying to notch the fourth straight 1,000-yard season to begin his profession — no earlier Jet ever had three to start his time within the NFL.
He believes there’s mild on the finish of this darkish Jets tunnel, and no, it’s not an oncoming practice. He thinks the Jets are near a breakthrough, that the shedding isn’t going to proceed.
He sees new coach Aaron Glenn’s imaginative and prescient, even when it hasn’t translated into any wins but.
“I simply place confidence in the plan that coach has proposed to us, religion in my teammates,” the 25-year-old Wilson stated. “We’re going to show this factor round, we’re going to get this factor rolling, and when it does, it’s going to really feel actual good.”
It clearly hasn’t been straightforward, the begin to this season or his Jets profession general. He received large at Ohio State, the Buckeyes going 31-4 in his three seasons, together with a nationwide championship recreation loss in 2020.
In his first three-plus years within the league, the Jets are 19-36.
“I really consider due to the issues that guys have gone by means of these previous couple of years and what we’re battling to get out of, it should make it that rather more lovely [when we win],” Wilson stated. “And I don’t ever lose sight of that or ever lose religion in AG, [general manager Darren Mougey], our workers and everybody right here. We all know what their plan is.”
The Jets have many query marks for the long run and desires that should be crammed. One certainty seems to be their No. 1 vast receiver.
“[I want to be remembered as] somebody that took loads of pleasure in being a part of the change,” Wilson stated. “That’s all I actually need. When gamers within the league discuss me, they respect the way in which I performed the sport.”
