Joe Flacco agreed to remain with the New York Jets in a backup quarterback role, and Zach Wilson seems quite pleased about that. The former BYU star had an awesome way of showing it.
After the Jets announced that they re-signed Flacco, Wilson sent a hilarious tweet welcoming the 37-year-old back. He called Flacco “dad” and referred to him as an “Elite QB.”
Those who have followed Flacco’s career know that there was once a highly entertaining debate over whether Flacco should be considered “elite.” That question has since been answered, but the former Baltimore Ravens star does have a Super Bowl ring and Super Bowl MVP Trophy. He may not be elite, but he has had a solid career.
Flacco was with the Jets in 2020 before he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as a backup to Jalen Hurts last season. He was then traded back to New York after Wilson went down with an injury. Obviously, the two established a close relationship during their brief time together.
