NFL Draft 2021: Six fun things you didn’t know about BYU’s Zach Wilson
NY Post
After rising up NFL draft boards throughout the fall, BYU quarterback Zach Wilson seemed to only help himself a little more on Friday at his pro day. As the Jets weigh whether to select the gunslinger with the No. 2 pick and move on from former No. 3 pick Sam Darnold, here are six things you might not know about Wilson:
1. If Wilson does end up in New York, his family shouldn’t have a problem getting from Utah to MetLife Stadium. His uncle, David Neeleman, is the founder of JetBlue, among other airlines. 2. Wilson was originally committed to Boise State, but ultimately flipped to BYU because he wanted to play closer to home. The Cougars play roughly 30 miles from where Wilson grew up, in Draper, Utah, and Wilson is part of a big family — his grandparents have seven children, 36 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren, according to the Deseret News.More Related News
