Jets Duo Tipped To ‘Flourish’ In High-Profile Reunion<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At this time of the offseason, we’re all about projections and sharing ideas on what we think might happen. Looking at the New York Jets’ tandem of Justin Fields and Garrett Wilson, what can we expect?<\/p>\n

A reunion has occurred between Fields and Wilson, who played college ball at Ohio State, but since entering the NFL, their careers have taken vastly different paths.<\/p>\n

Wilson is regarded as one of the better receivers in football, while Fields has yet to consistently demonstrate his abilities, and for some, he is on his last chance as an NFL starter.<\/p>\n

But maybe having Wilson as his go-to guy can bring the best out of Fields, as it did at Ohio State, and the pair might have gotten some bulletin board material right off the bat.<\/p>\n

Pro Football Focus’ Trevor Sikkema, when ranking the top quarterback\/receiver duos, has Fields and Wilson come in at No. 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cWilson slightly bounced back from a 73.5 PFF receiving grade in 2023 to a 79.3 mark in 2024, but it wasn\u2019t quite like the 85.9 PFF receiving grade he earned in his rookie season,\u201d Sikkema wrote<\/a>. \u201cFields is coming off a decent year in Pittsburgh before getting usurped by Russell Wilson. The Jets will likely field a run-heavy offense in 2025, but this connection should still flourish. Fields also earned a 92.7 PFF passing grade when targeting Wilson when the two were at Ohio State in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a lot of unknown about the Jets offense under Tanner Engstrand<\/a>, and with Fields learning a new system, coupled with only having one genuine weapon in Garrett, how things play out will be an interesting watch.<\/p>\n

Many predict tough sledding for Aaron Glenn’s team, but with Fields and Wilson hopefully leading the offense in a better way than Aaron Rodgers, who knows what might come of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Wilson and Fields as a bottom-tier duo right now is justified, but if things click in the way Gang Green hopes, they might quickly shoot up this rankings list next season.<\/p>\n
