Below is a social media recap of Zach Wilson's performance at OTA's.

Oh my.

Zach Wilson opens practice with a gorgeous 40-yard pass down the right sideline to (who else?) Elijah Moore, who makes the diving grab.

Highlight of OTAs so far. Beat Bryce Hall #Jets

First throw of 11-on-11 #Jets

Zach Wilson to Elijah Moore for a deep bomb. Moore with the beautiful diving catch. Bryce Hall in coverage. Great throw and catch.

Zach Wilson just threw a bomb to Elijah Moore, who made a diving catch. Highlight of the spring. (There was a flag on the play but it’s June so I don’t care)

#Jets are driving ball in scrimmage-like drill for first time. 1s vs 1s. Zach Wilson looks really good.

Again. Gorgeous pass from Wilson to Cole on left sideline. Out route. Dropped it over corner, before safety, for first down. Perfect touch #Jets

Best start we’ve seen from Wilson.

On third & 11 uses hard count to get defense to jump. On third & six finds Berrios again with a laser for first down. Thread needle between two defenders

This is undeniably Wilson’s best practice of these OTAs (that we’ve seen). Doesn’t look good for a rookie. He just looks really good #Jets

Well got damn Zach. Wilson with another dart deep down the sideline in between two defenders to Keelan Cole. Perfect placement. 5-6 for the that first 11-on-11 session. Okay rook

On the first day of OTA's, one reporter asked Coach Saleh about what stands out about Zach Wilson, Coach Saleh mentioned Wilson's "relentless want for knowledge." For those that followed Wilson's career at BYU, Coach Saleh's description of Wilson echoes the words of his former BYU coaches Jeff Grimes and Aaron Roderick. Both Roderick and Grimes frequently brought up Wilson's thirst for knowledge during his time at BYU.

"He's relentless in terms of his want for knowledge, in terms of studying. It is interesting when he is watching tape, the things he is able to pick up and recognize on tape. He's already trying to get himself into that 501 world." - Coach Saleh
