Overview

  • Wilson said he has not talked to Rodgers since the quarterback was released by New York and signed with the Steelers.
  • He described Rodgers as a “living legend” and said he tried to learn from him every day during their time together.
  • New York visits Pittsburgh on Sunday in Week 1, pitting Wilson against his former quarterback.
  • The Jets finished 5-12 last season, leading to the firings of Robert Saleh and Joe Douglas before new leadership moved on from Rodgers.
  • After a midseason trade for Davante Adams altered targets, Wilson still set career highs with 101 receptions, 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns, and he now reunites with former Ohio State passer Justin Fields.
