Throughout his first two years in the NFL, Garrett Wilson has established himself as one of the most dominant receivers in the league. But it sounds like his head coach would like to see him take the next step in his development as a player and as a professional.
During a press conference, New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh explained that as he enters the third season of his career, Garrett Wilson is learning how to balance all aspects of his life to become the high-level player he can be.
“He’s been phenomenal his first two years, but Year 3 is when they learn the balance between their newfound fame, the money in their bank account, the social media stuff, the branding, the family part of it and the football part of it,” Saleh said. “They learn how to balance all of that, so they keep the main thing the main thing, which is being a great football player.
“Garrett comes from a great background, great family and he’s always had his head on straight. I think just going into year 3 knowing the game the way he knows it now, I think sky’s the limit for him.”
It will be interesting to see how Wilson performs this season, especially with Aaron Rodgers returning to the starting lineup.
