Garrett Wilson seems open to some friendly competition within the New York Jets’ wide receiver room, even if it involves 3-time All-Pro Davante Adams.
On Thursday, Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers sparked interest by expressing a desire to play with Adams “again.”
Rodgers’ comment quickly went viral on social media and caught Wilson’s attention.
On Friday, Wilson hosted a youth football camp in Morristown, N.J., where he was asked about the possibility of the Jets acquiring Adams from the Las Vegas Raiders. The 23-year-old was enthusiastic about any moves that would help the Jets succeed.
“I see that. I’m excited. I’m with all of it,” Wilson said, via Brian Costello of the New York Post. “Anyone we can get into the facility to help this team win games, I’m with it and he’s one of those.”
Rumors of the Jets’ interest in Adams have been circulating since Rodgers moved to New York. Adams and Rodgers played together for eight seasons with the Green Bay Packers.
An Adams-Wilson duo would instantly make the Jets’ wide receiver lineup one of the best in the NFL. Last season, Adams caught 103 passes for 1,144 yards and 8 touchdowns in 17 games for the Raiders. Wilson recorded 95 catches for 1,042 yards and 3 touchdowns in as many games for the Jets.
