Potential Super Bowl Winner 2022
Today we preview the potential Super Bowl winner 2022 to bet on. For starters, it is not the Jets. When the New York Jets traded quarterback Sam Darnold to Carolina and used the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft to select former BYU quarterback Zach Wilson, it was assumed that Wilson will be handed the starting job next season.
Even though he appears to have a clear path to the starting job, Wilson doesn’t want it to be handed to him.
“In this position, the coaches want to play the best player. That position has to be earned,” the No. 2 pick said Saturday on the second day of rookie minicamp. “I have to do what I’m supposed to do. That’ll take care of itself.”
Wilson told reporters that being a starter is important to him, but it isn’t a priority. He said his main focus is learning the offense and getting acclimated to his new teammates. At BYU, he backed up the starter for six games before becoming the youngest starter in school history at 19 years, 2 months.

Even though Wilson wants to earn the starting job, there isn’t a lot of competition for the position, with the only other quarterbacks on the team being James Morgan, a 2020 fourth-round pick, and former practice squad player Mike White.
Neither quarterback has played in a regular-season game.
Head coach Robert Saleh hasn’t revealed his plan for Wilson, but the organization’s hope is that he will be ready to start by Week 1.
“He did a really nice job,” Saleh said of Wilson’s first day at rookie camp. “The ball was in and out of his hand very crisp. He was in rhythm and was on time; the players were running the right routes. The ball was barely on the ground.”
