The Denver Broncos great says first-round draft pick is a good fit in Denver.
Zach Wilson works out for New York Jets passing game specialist Greg Knapp, center, and OC Mike Lafleur on May 2021 in Florham Park, N.J.ENGLEWOOD, Colo — Maybe, just maybe, it would have been different for Zach Wilson with the New York Jets had he not so tragically lost one of his first NFL coaches in Greg Knapp.quarterback coach from 2013-16, Knapp had been hired by the Jets as passing game coordinator in January 2021. Knapp had a way about him.
“It was too bad and it really hurt. The feelings I have for him and his family, too, it was really tough. Not just what he brought to the game, but him as a person. I was excited to work with him and really helped me get through those rookie growing pains. It was very unfortunate.” “I feel like you learn the most when things are not going the best,’’ Wilson said. “You bank those reps, and you learn from them. In three years of things being challenging, you’re going to learn a lot of things. Hopefully I can keep carrying those with me.”
The list includes recent examples of Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith and Ryan Tannehill. Perhaps Jared Goff could be thrown in there. During the Broncos’ OTA practice Thursday, Wilson used a more effortless, whip-like throwing delivery than his other QB competitors Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham. Wilson did, after all, spend last offseason with Jets’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
