Jets rookie QB putting work in

Zach Wilson has been busy working the phones in his first week-plus as the newest quarterback of the Jets. Calls, video chats, texts and social media messages have all been part of the playbook for the No. 2 overall draft pick, who is wasting no time making a good first impression on his new teammates. “Talking to him on the phone, I could tell he’s like a general just by what he was saying,” said receiver Elijah Moore, the Jets’ second-round selection. “He’s super excited to be here as well. His passion comes out through the phone.” Wilson, 21, understands the task at hand and fully embraces it. He’s the blond, blue-eyed face of a franchise thirsting for a return to respectability. The Jets have the NFL’s longest active playoff drought at 10 seasons — and their search for a consistently successful quarterback has lasted decades. The former BYU star is taking things one step at a time. “I feel like that connection with your guys is super important,” Wilson said Saturday before his second rookie minicamp practice. “There’s still more guys I want to reach out to, get to know.”
