Manning went on to say, “I think it’s a great chapter two for Zach. He will get coached hard here by Sean Payton and their staff.”
A Young Star with Talent and Potential
Despite his struggles in New York, Wilson is still seen as a talented quarterback with the potential to succeed. Manning emphasized, “He’s obviously very talented. He wouldn’t have been drafted as high as he was.”
A Change of Scenery
Manning believes the change of scenery will benefit Wilson’s career. He stated, “The change of scenario for Zach Wilson, I think, is going to be a good one.”
Wilson’s optimistic about his future in Denver, as he told Manning, “He sounds excited to be here, so, hopefully, it’ll be a good fit.”

The Jets’ Issues
Wilson’s performance was not the sole factor in the Jets’ struggles. The team also dealt with injuries, defensive deficiencies, and a lack of offensive consistency.
Manning’s Coaching Connection
Manning has a notable history of mentoring young quarterbacks. He famously helped Andrew Luck acclimate to the NFL when Luck was drafted by the Indianapolis Colts.
A Positive Outlook
While Wilson’s tenure in New York ended prematurely, his move to the Broncos gives him a chance to prove himself in a more stable environment. With Manning’s support and a strong coaching staff behind him, Wilson has the tools and mindset to succeed.
