Jets Offense Counting On Former College Teammates

Over four years since their last time sharing the field together, Justin Fields and Garrett Wilson will line up on the same side again this coming season. Once teammates at Ohio State, they have crossed paths for a second time in their football journeys after Fields signed with Wilson's Jets this offseason. 

The two are both young in their careers but all eyes are on Fields to prove himself in 2025. Fields started his career with the Chicago Bears before the team traded him to Pittsburgh last offseason. 

He played second fiddle to Russell Wilson last season and now gets an opportunity to right the narrative on his career. As for Garrett, he has experienced more individual excellence at the cost of woeful team circumstances. 

Zach Wilson and an aged Aaron Rodgers have thrown him the ball for the majority of his career. That has not stopped him from amassing 1,000 yards each of his first three seasons. 

Now, the former Buckeyes will be the two primarily responsible for revitalizing the Jets' passing offense. Fields and Wilson are back on the field working out together, hoping to rekindle their college days connection.
