When you have sustained success in the NFL as Aaron Rodgers has, it’s no surprise when players who once you become your peers. Such is the case for rookie quarterback Zach Wilson who got to practice this week with his idol Aaron Rodgers in a joint practice between Wilson’s New York Jets and Rodgers’ Green Bay Packers.

Hopefully, Wilson, the second-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, is no longer star-stricken and ready to take the field. Saturday is here, and the Jets (1-0) play the Packers (0-1) in Week 2 of the NFL Preseason at Lambeau Field. The jersey swap can happen later, it’s time for football.
The Jets are coming off of a 12-7 victory over the New York Giants last week in which Wilson was 6 of 9 passing, totaling 63 yards with no interceptions, but no scores either. He’ll look to show off for Rodgers who will be watching from the sidelines. Unexpected to play this preseason, Jordan Love will likely take the field opposite Wilson. Love completed 12 of 17 passes last week for 122 yards and a touchdown in his own NFL debut, a preseason loss to the Houston Texans.

New York Jets vs Green Bay Packers Preseason preview
Jets Defense Faces Real Test
Wilson’s debut last week for the Jets went pretty well, especially considering that many still may feel the BYU product is ready for the New York lights. He should see extended play on Saturday, possibly playing a full half. While he’ll be the focus, the big thing to watch is going to be the defensive side of the ball.
New head coach Robert Saleh is a defensive coach, and thus his success should really be judged on how his team looks on that side of the ball as Wilson comes along. Starters like Marcus Maye, Lamarcus Joyner, and C.J. Mosley got some run last week, but they too could see more time as the season approaches. Limiting the Giants without Daniel Jones to just seven points is one thing, but even the second-string of a contender like the Packers will pose a greater test.
Some Love for Love
The more action that Rodgers allows Love the opportunity to see, the more it looks like Rodgers will be wearing a different jersey in 2022. Sure, this is the preseason, and that has to be considered, but two more games with stat lines like he had last week can make things interesting. Love could show the front office that he has the tools to not necessarily replace the talent of Rodgers but to at least allow the team to move on from the headache he’s become.
If more drives can end in scores on Saturday, that would be a strong step for Love. Seeing extended action last week, one touchdown feels like a bit of a letdown. The secondary for the Jets features some top players in the NFL, and the linebacker corps is nothing to overlook. Love can do big things for his career with a strong outing this weekend.
