Zach Wilson’s mom Lisa Wilson had something exciting to say about the Jets acquiring Aaron Rodgers. Lisa made posts on her Instagram Stories concerning Aaron’s move to the Jets and she is obviously happy about the trade.
The New York Post got details;
Zach Wilson’s mother appears to be happy about the new quarterback of the Jets.
Lisa Wilson posted two Instagram stories after the news broke that the Jets had acquired Aaron Rodgers from the Packers.
The first was a photo of her son and Rodgers standing together at a joint practice between the Jets and Packers during training camp in 2021.
The second was a screenshot of Adam Schefter’s report on the trade, accompanied by three clapping emojis.
Wilson — the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft — was benched last season for Mike White and is not expected to regain the starting quarterback position this season, if ever.
Rodgers’ official arrival on the Jets makes the scenario even less likely in the short term.
With White signing with the Dolphins, Wilson is expected to back up the 39-year-old Rodgers.
Wilson has spoken frequently about how much he looked up to Rodgers.
“As long as I can remember playing football, I was a big fan,’’ Wilson said of Rodgers in October before the Jets beat the Packers. “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.’’
Wilson also discussed what elements of Rodgers’ game he’s tried to incorporate.
This past January, Rodgers was asked on “The Pat McAfee Show” about what his advice for Wilson would be.
“For him, it’s just gonna be leaning into humility and consistently working on the fundamentals. … I hope that whoever they decide to go with at coordinator can come in and work with him and break down a lot of the fundamentals for him and get him playing on time because I think he’s talented enough to have a long career in the league.”
