Jets’ tortured 45-year quest for franchise QB turns to Zach Wilson
NY Post
“God knows I need players at other positions, but if a super quarterback is available, I have to take him … and Todd is super. You just don’t find great quarterbacks every day.” — Jets coach Lou Holtz on April 8, 1976, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Manhattan after the Jets selected Alabama quarterback Richard Todd with the No. 6 pick overall.
Joe Namath knew the call was coming, so he did a little research. A reporter was calling to talk about the Jets quarterback history since he departed following the 1976 season. “Knowing I was going to talk to you,” Namath said Monday, “I did do some research on the Jets site about the past quarterbacks and who they were … and wow, you have a lot of guys there.”More Related News
