Hoping to end years of losing and quarterback instability, the New York Jets selected BYU’s Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night, making him the franchise’s highest-drafted quarterback since Joe Namath in 1965.
After the Jacksonville Jaguars took Trevor Lawrence with the top pick, the Jets opted for Wilson over the three other highly rated quarterbacks in the draft class: Ohio State’s Justin Fields, North Dakota State’s Trey Lance and Alabama’s Mac Jones.
