Unreal what he would be able to do in todays game, all the freedom QBs have, the way you can’t touch a WR. He would be unstoppable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65 Toss Power Trap Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 He is so naturally talented. In High School a college football scout said his body jukes and head shakes, along with his body control, made him the #1 HS receiver. Add his work ethic and maturity to his natural talent . . . All I can think of is Jerry Rice . . . but Jerry Rice never had the speed . . . I think Justin Jefferson and Garett Wilson are going to take the NFL by storm the next 10 years. JJ already is of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly appears so, especially now that we have a QB who looks like he can consistently get him the ball. I started watching RIGHT after the Keyshawn days...consistently, at least. I have vague memories of Key and Chrebet making plays as Jets, but for the most part Coles and Santana Moss are the guys I remember when thinking back to when I first started really following the team. As far as I can remember, Wilson already appears to be the most dangerous/consistent/explosive WR that I can remember in my lifetime.

Bronx Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Dual athletes are the most dominant in sports. Gman's basketball background--such as his own teammate Fant--has helped his advanced development to produce at the highest level in the NFL.

bonkertons Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Pretty crazy the Adams trade essentially got us AVT and Wilson. Not bad, IMO. I remember being in favor of JJ at #10 at the time of the draft, since I thought Moore's emergence meant we could wait and take a receiver a bit later. Glad it was JD making those picks and not me. Wilson is clearly a tier above and something we were definitely missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Yes. Wilson can definitely reach the level of Diggs and Jefferson. No doubt at all in my mind. HOF guys like Marvin Harrison and Calvin Johnson who have done it for years, consistently with different weapons complementing them...TBD. Certainly Wilson COULD do that. But its something you need to prove over time. He would need to stay healthy, hungry, and to an extent have some luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you talk about great Jets, I think about guys who spent most of their careers here. These guys each had maybe 2 or 3 full seasons as Jets. A couple of those seasons were a lot of fun, and each guy had big moments for sure, but I don't consider either guy as a "great Jet."

Smashmouth Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If Wilson stays healthy he will be a 1200 to 1500 yard WR every year with double digit TD's on a team that wants to run the ball. With Hall coming back next year and the talent we have in the RB room you will certainly see less passes to the WR's so that can eat into the numbers but I'm sure you will see some amazing chain moving receptions from him which is really the most important part of playing offense not the amount of stats you can compile.
