Wilson was thrilled to board Jets

Late on Day 3 of the NFL draft, Quincy Wilson got news that he welcomed.

The Colts had traded the cornerback to the Jets for a sixth-round pick. You could say Wilson embraced the change of scenery.

“When I got traded it was a good day, probably one of the best days of my life,” Wilson said. “A lot of things went wrong in Indy. I’m just happy for this new opportunity, this new situation I’m in that’s way better. I’m just ready to show that I can play.”

Wilson did not want to get into exactly what went wrong for him with the Colts, but it sounded like he was not a fan of their zone coverage scheme. A secondround pick in 2017, Wilson comes to a Jets team with starting cornerback jobs up for grabs and some of his former college teammates at Florida in the secondary with him — Marcus Maye and Brian Poole.

Wilson, 24, has made some plays already in training camp and is enjoying the Jets’ defensive style.

“It’s more aggressive,” Wilson said. “They coach you to make plays, not to cover grass. That’s how I’ve always been taught, to go get the ball.”

➤ The Poole mystery continues. The nickel cornerback has not practiced since Aug. 14, when he suffered from dehydration after practice. Coach Adam Gase insists the Jets are just trying to make sure Poole does not have another problem, but it is strange for him to be out this long.

“It’s just kind of the reaction to the dehydration,” Gase said. “It just kind of makes us go back and re-evaluate kind of how we even got to that point. So, that’s why we’re being cautious with it.”
