Peyton Manning believes the New York Jets' coaching changes may have contributed to Zach Wilson's struggles, eventually leading to his trade to the Denver Broncos this week.
Former New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson got a vote of confidence from Denver Broncos great Peyton Manning, who seemingly pointed the finger back at the Jets when discussing Wilson’s shortcomings. 'The change of scenario for Zach Wilson, I think, is going to be a good one,' Manning told Denver Sports in an interview Tuesday. The Jets sent Wilson packing this week after three disappointing seasons after the Jets drafted the former BYU standout No. 2 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Wilson played under two offensive coordinators, most recently Nathaniel Hackett, who was brought on last season to complement Rodgers. 'I think it’s a great chapter two for Zach,' Manning added. 'He will get coached hard here by Sean Payton and their staff, which is important for young quarterbacks to be coached hard. He’s obviously very talented. He wouldn’t have been drafted as high as he was.
