Now we\u2019re getting to see some of the sights New York Jets fans are currently craving.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Fields and <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/team\/garrett-wilson\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Garrett Wilson<\/a>, former Ohio State teammates, were seen <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nyjets\/status\/1917579567318835574\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">linking up on the field again<\/a>, this time in Green and White.<\/p>\n<p>A few crisp completions during voluntary workouts offered a quick reminder of the chemistry they built years ago in Columbus.<\/p>\n<p>Fields and Wilson played together at Ohio State in 2019 and 2020, forming one of the most electric QB-WR duos in the country. Despite never capturing a national title, the connection was undeniable. <\/p>\n<p>Fields threw for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns when targeting Wilson, finishing with a 133.0 passer rating on those plays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, it\u2019s awesome, of course,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/nyjets\/status\/1910027518003790029\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Fields said<\/a> of their reunion. \u201cWe played together in college, and when I saw him, it was really like the old days. I don\u2019t think our relationship skipped a beat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wilson, now 24, is heading into his fourth NFL season. The Jets <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2025\/04\/30\/jets-officially-exercise-5th-year-options-on-2022-first-rounders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">picked up his fifth-year option<\/a> this week, keeping him under contract through 2026. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s already made franchise history, becoming the first Jets receiver to post three straight 1,000-yard seasons, and he\u2019s done it while catching passes from eight different starting quarterbacks.<\/p>\n<p>Since being drafted in 2022, Wilson ranks 10th among NFL wide receivers in yardage (3,249) and seventh in receptions (270).<\/p>\n<p>Fields, meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/jetsxfactor.com\/2025\/03\/10\/ny-jets-justin-fields-signed-contract-free-agent\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">signed a two-year deal<\/a> with the Jets this offseason worth up to $40 million, with $30 million guaranteed. New York marks his third NFL stop after stints with the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, he started six games for Pittsburgh, leading the team to a 4-2 record while completing 65.8% of his passes for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns, and just one interception before being benched.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Fields is looking to reset his career, and with a familiar face back in his huddle, the Jets hope that the chemistry from Columbus can carry over to Sundays in the Meadowlands.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ok, now we\u2019re talking.
