As the Jets enter the final stretch of the season, they are chasing a playoff berth. But their rookies are also chasing hardware.
“That would be special,” Wilson said of possibly pulling off the historic double. “I know me and Sauce both feel like if we go about the last couple of weeks the right way and do everything we can to help our team that will take care of itself. That’s not at the forefront of our minds. We want to be a playoff team. We want to win these games on the back end. That’s our focus.”
“We’ve definitely thought about it,” Gardner said. “I don’t really be going too deep into individual accolades that I want, but Defensive Rookie of the Year is one of them, and I feel like I’m the best defensive rookie doing it, for real. The guys I’ve had to go against and the stuff I’ve been doing … I feel like I’ve been going against the best that there is.”
Wilson has 57 catches for 790 yards and four touchdowns. He has five games with 90 yards or more this season. The only players who have hit that mark more this season are a who’s who of stars in the league: Jefferson , Stefon Diggs , Davante Adams , Hill and Travis Kelce .“From Day 1, you could tell that they were not scared to be in this league,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said. “The game is not too big for them.
Gardner and Wilson are trying to join Kamara and Lattimore and the Lions’ duo of Mel Farr and Lem Barney who pulled off the exacta in 1967.
