Zach Wilson steps into the huddle again for the Jets with Aaron Rodgers injured

OK, Zach Wilson, you’re up. With Aaron Rodgers out for the rest of the season with a torn left Achilles tendon, Wilson takes over as the New York Jets’ starting quarterback. But he’s somebody that’s made a drastic improvement from a year ago.” The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! It’s on Zach Wilson now to make it all work — and help the Jets snap the 12-year postseason drought that seemed all but history with Rodgers in charge. The undrafted rookie from Stephen F. Austin made the team out of training camp and was featured during the Jets’ appearance this summer on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” He delivered what will likely be remembered as an all-time Jets moment, returning a punt 65 yards — making several nice moves to elude would-be tacklers — for a touchdown to win it in overtime.
