I liked this writeup on Zach's performance from the Jet's scrimmage
Article linked below. The pieces are in place for Zach to take a major jump this year in productivity. If he can build some confidence and connect on the short passes, I think he has a really nice sophomore season and take a nice jump.

Here is the excerpt on Zach from the article below:

"Jets QB Zach Wilson improves his efficiency with help from a new pal

On Saturday, the Jets hosted their annual Green and White Scrimmage. The practice, which revolved around situational team drills and 11-on-11 drive simulations, was a nice test for Wilson, whose accuracy and efficiency were all over the place during the first two weeks of camp.

That said, Wilson got off to an electric start at MetLife Stadium. Working with the first-team offense, Wilson repeatedly targeted tight end Tyler Conklin, a free agent addition, over the middle of the field. The pair clearly has chemistry, and they connected on all of Conklin’s targets in team drills. Wilson’s passing productivity with Conklin eventually rubbed off on other playmakers, including fellow tight end C.J. Uzomah and wideout Corey Davis.

Wilson looks much more comfortable throwing short and immediate passes than he did as a rookie. Those improvements have largely come with him targeting the middle of the field. Last season, the Jets had inconsistency at tight end, and frankly, the group lacked notable talent.

The signings of Conklin and Uzomah have bolstered an offense that can thrive in 12 personnel (1 RB, 2 TEs, 2 WRs). Wilson seems to be comfortable using the tight ends as safety blankets, and his connection with the new duo will open things up for his impressive stable of running backs and wide receivers like Davis, Elijah Moore, and first-round pick Garrett Wilson.

Right now, Zach Wilson appears to be on the verge of a major jump in development following a rough rookie season. There has still been the occasional blunder — such as a near-pick and a Del’Shawn Phillips interception on back-to-back plays — but Wilson looks to be gaining ground within the offense. He’s more comfortable in the pocket and seems to be seeing the field more clearly.

If the QB can take advantage of his new weapons — namely Conklin, Uzomah, Garrett Wilson, and rookie running back Breece Hall — the offense should take a massive step forward in Year 2 under coordinator Mike LaFleur."
