Zach Wilson’s deep passing numbers are mesmerizing

There is a vast array of things that New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson must improve on before he can reach his full potential.

With that being said, there is one thing that Wilson is already doing at an elite level: launch the deep ball.

Wilson has completed 11 passes that traveled at least 20 yards beyond the line of scrimmage. That ranks as the third-most in the NFL through four weeks, trailing only Kyler Murray (13) and Derek Carr (13). He sits one spot ahead of Tom Brady (10).

It’s not as if Wilson ranks that highly just because he is chucking up a ton of attempts.
