New York Jets Qb Drafts

**New York Jets Select Zach Wilson with No. 2 Pick in 2021 NFL Draft** **New York, NY** - The New York Jets have selected BYU quarterback Zach Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The move comes amid hopes of ending the team's long-standing struggles at the quarterback position. Wilson, a 21-year-old native of Draper, Utah, had a standout season for the Cougars in 2020. He threw for 3,692 yards, 33 touchdowns, and three interceptions, leading BYU to an 11-1 record. The Jets originally joined the NFL as the Titans of New York in 1960. They changed their name to the Jets in 1962. Over the years, they have drafted several notable players, including: * **Will McDonald IV:** Defensive end, Round 1, Pick 15 * **Zach Wilson:** Quarterback, Round 1, Pick 2 * **Mekhi Becton:** Offensive tackle, Round 1, Pick 11 (2020) * **Sam Darnold:** Quarterback, Round 1, Pick 3 (2018) * **Leonard Williams:** Defensive tackle, Round 1, Pick 6 (2015) The Jets hope that Wilson can bring stability and success to the franchise, which has not won a playoff game since 2010. He will compete with incumbents Sam Darnold and Mike White for the starting quarterback job.
