Assessing Jets rookie QB Zach Wilson through Week 5

Zach Wilson hasn’t been great through the first five games of his NFL career.

Wilson is among the league’s worst in a number of statistical categories. He leads the NFL with nine interceptions, is 27th in passing yards, tied for 28th in passing touchdowns, 31st in completion percentage and 32nd in quarterback ranking.

Not all of this has been Wilson’s fault, though. Blocking issues, drops by receivers and uncreative playcalling haven’t helped the rookie this season. But some of those problems have been solved, meaning that whatever mistakes Wilson continues to make will start to fall on his shoulders.

It’s not too late for Wilson to correct the problems that have plagued him and the Jets this season. He’s still young and this offense is still new. But after five games, aspects of Wilson’s game need refinement.

Here’s our assessment of Wilson through the first five games of his career.
