Former New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has received a vote of confidence from Denver Broncos legend Peyton Manning, who believes that a change of scenery will benefit Wilson’s career. Manning criticized the Jets organization for constantly changing offensive coordinators, which he believes hindered Wilson’s development. After three disappointing seasons, the Jets traded Wilson to the Broncos for a sixth-round draft pick.
Manning believes that the Jets’ revolving door of offensive coordinators has been detrimental to Wilson’s growth as a quarterback. He emphasized the importance of stability and consistency for young quarterbacks, which he believes Wilson will find in Denver under head coach Sean Payton.
Wilson has played under two offensive coordinators during his time with the Jets, most recently Nathaniel Hackett, who was brought in last season to complement Aaron Rodgers. Manning praised the Broncos’ coaching staff, led by Payton, for their ability to coach quarterbacks hard and help them develop their potential.
Despite his struggles with the Jets, Wilson remains a talented player with a bright future ahead of him. Manning expressed optimism about Wilson’s future in Denver, saying that he has the potential to be a successful quarterback in the NFL.
Wilson has already spoken to Manning about his move to the Broncos and expressed excitement about the opportunity to play for the team. Manning believes that Wilson is a good fit for the Broncos and that he can thrive in their system.
