Jets rookie WR Garrett Wilson names one big difference between Joe Flacco, Zach Wilson

There is a strong likelihood that Joe Flacco starts for the New York Jets in Week 1, and Jets rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson might be ok with that.

Zach Wilson had surgery on Tuesday to repair the torn meniscus he suffered during Friday’s preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The initial recovery period for Wilson was set at 2-4 weeks.

While speaking to reporters on Monday, Garrett Wilson talked about the difference between catching balls from Flacco as opposed to Zach Wilson.

“It’s a lot of experience right there with Flacco,” Garrett Wilson said. “He takes some pace off, can put pace on the ball. He does a good job of making the passes receiver-friendly. He’ll take something off the ball when you’re running a slant route, versus an out route, he’ll put some zip on it, because it’s gotta be. Things like that.”
