Solid day for Zach didn’t look as good as last time we were out. But that was a high bar. However that’s okay. Still made good throws.

Red zone, Zach Wilson finds Braxton Berrios for the score. Then the same to Elijah Moore. Both were quick, timing plays with nice route-running. No. 8’s route-running is phenomenal for a rook.

Wilson finished the 7-on-7 RZ drill with five attempts. All three went for TDs (Kroft, Moore, Berrios). One was a near INT & the other ripped out of receiver DJ Montgomery’s hands (Dunn the defender) #Jets

#Jets defense sent Heat but Zach Wilson made a quick read and floated it to Michael Carter with a deep ball for a big gain.

"Jets defense sent Heat but Zach Wilson made a quick read and floated it to Michael Carter with a deep ball for a big gain." - DJ Bien-Aime

Really nice set of 11-on-11 tor Wilson against starting D, capped by a pretty touch pass on wheel route to Michael Carter. Went 3-for-3 on passes, including a deep curl to Moore.

Wilson has a cannon, but it’s not fastball every time. Knows when to throw change up #Jets

On the first day of OTA's, one reporter asked Coach Saleh about what stands out about Zach Wilson, Coach Saleh mentioned Wilson's "relentless want for knowledge." For those that followed Wilson's career at BYU, Coach Saleh's description of Wilson echoes the words of his former BYU coaches Jeff Grimes and Aaron Roderick. Both Roderick and Grimes frequently brought up Wilson's thirst for knowledge during his time at BYU.

"He's relentless in terms of his want for knowledge, in terms of studying. It is interesting when he is watching tape, the things he is able to pick up and recognize on tape. He's already trying to get himself into that 501 world." - Coach Saleh
