FILE - New York Jets first round draft pick Zach Wilson (2) works out during NFL football rookie camp in Florham Park, N.J., in this Friday, May 7, 2021, file photo. The franchise has been on a mostly fruitless search since Joe Namath last played for the Jets in 1976, an often frustrating span during which 34 players have started at quarterback for New York. Zach Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick in April, will likely become No. 35 when the Jets kick off the regular season at Carolina on Sept. 12.(AP Photo/Bill Kostroun, File)
