Before his time in the NFL, the Corner Canyon High School product rose up draft boards throughout his junior season at BYU.
Wilson helped the Cougars to an 11-1 record during his final season in Provo.
New York acquired Wilson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The first-year quarterback struggled to start the 2021 campaign and suffered a knee injury that caused him to miss a month midway through the season.
After bouncing back from the injury, Wilson saw his play improve down the final stretch of New York’s slate.
Wilson finished the season passing for 2,334 yards, nine touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He added 185 yards and four touchdowns on the ground.
