Zach Wilson has a tough rookie season, and it’s awesome to see him fight for an awesome touchdown. His rookie campaign hasn’t gone well at all, but it’s clear he’s still very talented.
The fact he tore off for a 52-yard touchdown is proof of that fact.
Jets QB Zach Wilson just rushed for a 52-yard TD run.
That’s the longest TD run by a QB since Marcus Mariota’s 87-yarder back in Week 13 of 2015.

He’s a hell of an athlete, but he just hasn’t had too many opportunities to show off his skills like he did on a regular basis at BYU.
Well, for fans of the Jets, it’s crystal clear the future his very bright with him under center. Any quarterback who can run half the field for a score is a guy with some serious potential.
