Aaron Rodgers brought a couple of his own receivers to New York with him, but the player he seems Kaleb Wesson Jersey most impre sed with at the position is Garrett Wilson.Wilson is entering his second season with the Jets after being a first-round pick in the 2022 draft. He enjoyed a strong rookie season, posting 83 catches for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns despite catching pa ses from the likes of Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco and Mike White during his campaign.Rodgers has come away from practice impre sed with Wilson and has a lofty com prison to the 23-year-old. That would be Davante Adams, with whom Rodgers played from 2014 to 2021 with the Packers.MORE: "I think Garrett's just what an amazing kid," Rodgers told Juan Toscano-Anderson Jersey NBC during his in-game interview. "I have so much love and respect for Davante and feel like he's the best receiver in the league, so I don't say this lightly, but there aredefinitely traits that this 17 has that that special 17 has as well.""There are definitely traits that this 17 has that that special 17 has as well."Rodgers sees a lot of Davante Adams in Garrett Wilson. : Game on NBC: Stream on NFL+ NFL (@NFL) The comparison between Wilson and Adams seems apt. Wilson is a bit smaller and faster than his veteran counterpart, but both are adept route runners and have demonstrated an ability to make contested catches against NFL-level defenders.MORE: So, it would seem that Wilson has a similar ceiling to that of Adams. Perhaps it's even a bit higher considering that it took just one season for him to break out while Adams broke Alen Smailagic Jersey out in his third year, in earnest.Still, Rodgers wanted to make it clear that his top wide receiver has a ways to go before reaching the Raiders star's level."I'm not going to put him in that category yet," Rodgers said of Wilson. "Davante is in a category by himself. But Garrett has the potential to be special in this league for a really long time. He's got all of the things you need. Incredible talent, he's got a great work ethic and he's a freaking great kid. He James Wiseman Jersey really is a good human being. He cares about it."MORE: "He carries himself the right Rick Barry Jersey way," he added. "He carries himself like a seasoned vet. But he's got a humility you like to see from a young kid."All told, this vote of confidence makes it seem like Wilson will be Rodgers' top target during the 2023 NFL season. And with the former Packer serving as an upgrade at quarterback, Wilson should have a chance to improve upon his rookie season numbers and emerge as one of the game's best young receivers.
