Garrett Wilson Says He and Aaron Rodgers Need to Show Chemistry ‘On Sundays Now’

Jets WR Garrett Wilson and QB Aaron Rodgers are trying to take their chemistry, which was on full display in training camp, to the regular season.

The pair hasn’t had a problem connecting through three games — Wilson leads the team with 150 receiving yards and leads Jets wideouts with 15 receptions (RB Breece Hall is top with 16) — but there’s still meat on the bone.

Entering Week 4, Wilson believes he’s in synch with his quarterback.

“I feel like we have to do it on Sunday now,” he said. “That’s when it matters. If you were to ask me before the game last week, I would have thought we were on the same page, so we have to it on Sunday’s now.”

Wilson, selected No. 10 overall in 2022 out of Ohio State, became the first, first-round wide receiver to catch a touchdown from Rodgers in his future Hall-of-Fame, 20-year career with a 2-yard score against the Patriots in Week 3.

“It’s just process, you got to try and put [Wilson] in situations where he can be the number one in the progression, which he is a lot, and then mix up the looks,” Rodgers said of getting the ball to his No. 1 target. “We got to do a lot of things to give him a chance to get moving and we’d like to get the ball to him early, but it’s just a process. He’s got to be patient, we’ve got to be patient, we can’t force it.”

After lining up against some of the NFL’s best cornerbacks for the first three weeks of the season, Wilson will likely see a lot of All-Pro CB Patrick Surtain II on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

“I love it,” Wilson said of matching up against the opponent’s top corner. “As I said last week, as long as we don’t crown him before the game and we still take some chances at him, I love it.

“He’s a good player. He’s got great feet. A technician. You could tell he grew up with a pops that was getting him on early. He’s one of the best in the league for a reason.”
