Garrett Wilson hosts football camp for 300 children at The Peddie School this week. Aaron Rodgers says he could be the best receiver in the league this year.
On the cusp of joining the elite tier of NFL wideouts, Garrett Wilson received an unexpected and funny reminder that Aaron Rodgers has a lot of mouths to feed with the Jets.
“I expect more than all that,” Wilson said. “For me, it’s always been about the ultimate confidence in myself and putting the work behind it so you know it can happen when the season comes around. I’m not buying into all that stuff too much. No one’s expectations for me are higher than my own.” Wilson is hopeful many of the receivers — an upgraded group that includes Rodgers favorites Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb as well as free-agent signing Mecole Hardman and returnees Corey Davis and Denzel Mims — and quarterbacks can find chemistry-building time and a place to meet up before training camp begins in the third week of July.
“I told them just to make sure you are open to coaching and ready to learn,” Wilson said. “For me, it was always about competing, getting better and being around people who love the sport as much as I do. It’s just about reps. If you are not playing football, go out and do something else active to work on your hand-eye coordination.”
