Jets head coach Aaron Glenn expressed optimism on Friday that wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) will play again in 2025, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Wilson, often considered a top wide receiver despite inconsistent stats, has demonstrated elite talent since being drafted 10th overall in 2022, topping 1,000 yards in his first two seasons. His efficiency numbers, however, suffered in 2022 and 2023 due to the Jets' quarterback play. The team's strategy for improvement involves better blocking, quarterback play, and significant contributions from Wilson and Breece Hall, especially with the anticipated return of Aaron Rodgers. Wilson's impressive college career and rookie season, where he recorded 1,103 yards and a 25% target share, position him for a strong comeback once healthy.
