Garrett Wilson shows early faith in new Jet Adonai Mitchell: ‘He’s a dog’
NY Post
The No. 1 sees a potential No. 2.
In time, the Jets may be transformed by the two first-round picks acquired in the trade for Sauce Gardner. But Garrett Wilson also envisions a quicker impact from former Colts receiver Adonai Mitchell.
“He’s a dog,” Wilson said Thursday. “He had a hell of a day at practice … I don’t think he can [help], I know he can. He’s a big body, he can go up and get the ball, make it hard to tackle. Then you watch him move and you’re like, ‘Oh, he doesn’t move like his size.’ He’s very in control of his body.
“We’re gonna use that boy. I’m excited to see what he does because he’s got it all.”
Mitchell, a 2024 second-round pick, has posted underwhelming numbers in his first two seasons, partly due to Colts QB Anthony Richardson’s inaccuracy last season, and a significantly decreased snap count since a costly fumble against the Rams this season.
But the talented receiver — “He’s probably got the most separation of anyone in this league,” Colts wide receiver coach Reggie Wayne said recently — demonstrated his potential to the Jets coaching staff long ago.
