Quarterback Zach Wilson displayed rare arm strength last Sunday -- and the word "rare" isn't an exaggeration.
Get this: His 53-yard touchdown to wide receiver Corey Davis covered 50 air yards (from line of scrimmage to catch point), the longest completion in air yards by a Jets quarterback since 2014, according to ESPN Stats & Information data. In 2014, Michael Vick threw a 67-yard touchdown that also traveled 50 in the air.
"I think his arm strength is crazy," wide receiver Keelan Cole said.
The last Jets quarterback to eclipse 50 yards -- and this may surprise some folks -- was Mark Sanchez, who wasn't known for his big arm. In 2010, he hit Braylon Edwards for a 74-yard touchdown on a pass that went 54 in the air.
