Zach Wilson shares emotional moment with idol Aaron Rodgers after Jets’ win over Packers: WATCH

Zach Wilson shared a moment with his idol Aaron Rodgers after their Week 6 clash on Sunday. Zach Wilson, the quarterback for the New York Jets, was anxious to go up against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

When he first met Aaron Rodgers a year ago at joint practices, quarterback Zach Wilson dubbed himself a “fanboy.” He can’t afford to be star-struck when he sees Rodgers again on Sunday at Lambeau Field. This time, Wilson needs a signature victory more than an autograph.

Wilson tried to play hero ball much too frequently last season, aiming to make a big play when a routine one would have done. Those games backfired rather than blowing up. Let’s go to the present: He has played well for five consecutive quarters, and in his last 13 possessions, he has led eight scoring drives.

Only Wilson in the league has scored touchdowns by passing, rushing, and receiving. He is the first quarterback for the Jets to complete the hat trick, making him one of just 19 quarterbacks since 1970.

Zach’s father Mike Wilson reacted to them on Twitter, “Dreams do come true! I can’t tell you how many times Zach Wilson and I have watched Rogers on TV or studied his every movement on YouTube. Today he gets a chance to play against him. Parents, if your child has a dream, embrace it. Sometimes dreams do come true. “

“Aaron Rodgers has been my idol since I was 8 years old. He’s the QB I copied everything from and tried to be just like him. He’s a great guy. Sharing that moment after the game was really cool. I’d love to sit and chat with him all day. ” said Wilson. 

“This is what sport is all about. Zach Wilson made sure to let Aaron Rodgers know he is his new daddy and it’s about time to retire the old washed druggy.” wrote another. 

Wilson has won two games and two different types of victories, which is a strong start. In the comeback victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, he “appeared like a man who could put the team on his back,” according to coach Robert Saleh. The Miami Dolphins were defeated in the opposite manner. According to Saleh, he served as the team’s “facilitator,” which is another phrase for a game manager. Maybe he learned something from that.

The Jets recorded their 4th win of the season after beating the Packers in Week 6.
