[The Athletic] Garrett Wilson on interactions: “People might value my five minutes differently because of what I do for a living. I don’t see it that way, so at the end of the day it’s nothing for me to just interact with someone. If someone says hello, we talk. That’s how I’ve always operated."

[u/Praxician94]

Good guy Garrett Wilson. As a Steelers fan it’s always nice to see WR that aren’t head cases. I saw a video of CeeDee Lamb geeking out over meeting the Undertaker this morning too lol

[u/jmoroni89 → u/Praxician94]

Just watched the CeeDee/ Undertaker video, that was great!

[u/FomFrady95 → u/Praxician94]

Wouldn’t have thought CeeDee was even old enough to watch The Undertaker, lol.

[u/alexfirewind → u/FomFrady95]

He is 27 so Taker was wrestling his entire childhood.

[u/mikaeus97 → u/alexfirewind]

He should tombstone Pickens as a celebration and then hit the RIP and get his tongue out crazy style

[u/spanishinquestion → u/mikaeus97]

the way you worded that I think you might have ulterior motives

[u/mikaeus97 → u/spanishinquestion]

No worries, dude, purely sexual

[u/yomjoseki → u/mikaeus97]

That sicko probably thought you wanted an athletic display

[u/JonBonButtsniff → u/yomjoseki]

I assure you, that image is not a muscular arm, flexing.

[u/DevilishlyAdvocating → u/mikaeus97]

He should do a celebration where he sucks and fucks Pickens dry and then makes him cum hella

[u/ParticularLow1355 → u/mikaeus97]

I would take a screenshot and say This Is Deadlock brudda

[u/Percinho → u/alexfirewind]

Which is mad, as I'm 49 and he was a big part of my childhood too! I still remember my mate telling me about him as a new wrestler in the car on the way home from a youth football match.

Edit: fixed autocorrect

[u/-Jack-The-Stripper → u/Percinho]

My buddy was into Kane and Undertaker and I was into Triple H and Shawn Michaels. We stopped caring about wrestling about 20 years ago, but apparently there was a tag team match between those guys a few years back which is cool.

[u/OSPFmyLife → u/-Jack-The-Stripper]

Man, the attitude era was PEAK wrestling.

[u/don_keydick_42069 → u/alexfirewind]

garrett wilson was born in 2000. Undertaker was featured as one of only 10 wrestlers in the video game WWF Super WrestleMania that came out in 1992 on sega genesis and super nintendo.

[u/jordanhhh4 → u/FomFrady95]

Undertaker didn't retire THAT long ago, how old did you think CeeDee was?? Lmao

[u/sonfoa → u/jordanhhh4]

For real, either that or he thinks Undertaker retired in like 2005.

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/sonfoa]

Does mister compact disc lamb remember the legendary Biker Taker in all his nu-metal mixed martial arts glory though?

[u/FxDriver → u/FomFrady95]

I just looked it up and CeeDee is 27. So CeeDee didn't get to watch most of Undertaker's prime but he would have been old enough to watch Taker vs Punk or Taker vs Shawn Michaels 1&2. 

[u/TheUglyBarnaclee → u/FxDriver]

Im also 27 so he probably did see some of Takers prime just like me and other kids did. He was probably a fan from mid 2000s to early 2010s when Taker imo was having classic WM matches left and right

[u/ExpertCauliflower838 → u/TheUglyBarnaclee]

Yep, I’m 29 and this is my lived experience. Lately I’ve been watching a lot of old WWE and WCW and Taker had so many classic matches, plenty of them in the mid-late 00s and early 10s. Last night I watched Taker & Batista vs. Michaels & Cena from No Way Out 2007, great bout.

[u/BokuNoNamaiWaJonDesu → u/TheUglyBarnaclee]

His prime was just prior to and during the Attitude Era. But funnily enough his best wrestling came in the years you described.

[u/Praxician94 → u/FomFrady95]

Found it:

https://youtube.com/shorts/6cNbQquKflc?is=wpRvocMI8PMpaddL

[u/iprefercumsole → u/FomFrady95]

Wouldn’t have thought CeeDee was even old enough to watch The Undertaker

Im only 2 years older and got to watch his string of matches from Mania 23 to Mania 30

Idc if I missed the 90s im a 'taker head for life

[u/ACW1129 → u/FomFrady95]

CD was like 20 when Undertaker retired

[u/HolyMostaccioli → u/Praxician94]

Currently it seems like pretty much all the top WRs are just quiet, hardworking guys for the most part.

[u/Fivedollaman]

Thats the kind of guy you want on your team

[u/False_Pressure_6324 → u/Fivedollaman]

At WR I'd take the narcissist tbh

[u/Maximus-Festivus → u/False_Pressure_6324]

Not a prerequisite . Larry Fitzgerald is one of the nicest and smartest guy and all time great receiver

[u/ApolloXLII → u/Maximus-Festivus]

Mike Evans, Andre and Calvin Johnson also come to mind

[u/Cummyshitballs → u/ApolloXLII]

While Randy moss was loud and cocky on the field I feel like he was never really toxic in the locker room either

[u/BigJR → u/Cummyshitballs]

Yeah Randy became toxic the way Jimmy is "toxic". He'll raise hell if he thinks the team isn't trying their best to win. Which any honest team should want.

[u/Cool-Damage-9587 → u/BigJR]

Who is Jimmy?

[u/Cummyshitballs → u/Cool-Damage-9587]

I think he’s referring to jimmy butler but that confused me for a second too

[u/LibetPugnare → u/Cool-Damage-9587]

You don't know Jimmy?!

/s

[u/Heynong_Man51 → u/LibetPugnare]

You know Jim or Jim knows you?

[u/BigJR → u/Cool-Damage-9587]

Yeah Jimmy Butler like ppl mentioned

[u/SlightCreme9008 → u/Cool-Damage-9587]

He’s talking about jimmy’s brother, the one who can sing. He can sing and he’s gonna sing good.

[u/FreezersAndWeezers → u/ApolloXLII]

Jerry Rice, Julio, Hopkins and even some of the new gen guys like Kupp, JSN and Jefferson seem pretty chill too

[u/vNocturnus → u/FreezersAndWeezers]

Yeah I was gonna say. "An all time great"? How about THE all-time great? Jerry Rice was a psychotically hard-working dude, but otherwise a great and grounded guy off the field.

Being a head case has absolutely 0 correlation with greatness, but does have extremely high correlation with causing locker room issues and flaming out of teams/the league entirely

[u/Teach_Piece → u/ApolloXLII]

It’s so funny that Evans is such a good dude, he looks hard af

[u/FireFlyz351 → u/Teach_Piece]

Evan's only enemy is Lattimore.

[u/FromageMyage → u/FireFlyz351]

That shit was always so funny as an outside observer lol

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/Teach_Piece]

Evans sleeve tattoos and resting mean mug made me think this dude was like cage fighting in his spare time. But then I remember hearing him talk for the first time and he seemed like a total teddy bear softy. One of the bigger gaps in appearance and personality for sure.

[u/Mother___Night → u/ApolloXLII]

Evans at least acts the part on the field. For his first ten seasons I swear he pretended to be injured on every other play and was always shit talking.

[u/SovietPropagandist → u/Maximus-Festivus]

Every time Fitz comes up I am obligated to remind everyone the man had more tackles than dropped passes

[u/fugaziozbourne → u/SovietPropagandist]

He also grabbed Angela Nazario by the neck and threw her into a marble floor, and then ripped her up by her hair, according to her claims.

[u/SadPineBooks → u/fugaziozbourne]

Wow, I'd never heard of this. I struggled to even find a full article from anything besides tabloid sites. This shit got buried. I'm surprised nothing more came about from it.

[u/SovietPropagandist → u/fugaziozbourne]

Well shit. I didn't know that

[u/Same_Concern9454 → u/Maximus-Festivus]

Yeah you just need the extremes in your WR. Either the diva or the Wilson/Fitzgerald. Not in between

[u/takeme2tendieztown → u/Same_Concern9454]

The slot receivers are the in between

[u/AaronRodgersMustache → u/takeme2tendieztown]

They also need the eyes of a Randall Cobb

[u/chemicalxv → u/AaronRodgersMustache]

Instructions unclear, ended up with the eyes of a Reche Caldwell

[u/good_morning_magpie → u/takeme2tendieztown]

When I think slot receiver I always think sneaky athletic, lunchpail guy, first one into the gym last one out, high football IQ, real coach’s kid type of guy.

[u/JonBonButtsniff → u/good_morning_magpie]

That’s crazy. When I think slot receiver, I think “4th and 8…”

[u/Th3_Dark_Knight → u/Maximus-Festivus]

Same with Calvin Johnson. Dude had a humble attitude for someone operating on another plane of existence physically.

[u/innnikki → u/Maximus-Festivus]

I’m not a believer that one moment defines someone for the rest of their lives—and especially not one from 15+ years ago—but Larry Fitzgerald has been accused of domestic violence

[u/Remarkable-Group-119 → u/Maximus-Festivus]

Adams seems like a pretty humble guy too

[u/Ok_Pineapple_Num → u/False_Pressure_6324]

The best 2 receivers right now, Jefferson and JSN, aren't divas. This notion is overblown

[u/Fivedollaman → u/Ok_Pineapple_Num]

And the best reciever of all time Jerry Rice was humble and well grounded

[u/royallex → u/Ok_Pineapple_Num]

Steelers/ex-Steelers WRs did the heavy lifting for a while. MBC, Pickens, Diontae, Claypool, Bryant...list goes on and on

[u/NoThanksImGoodG → u/False_Pressure_6324]

OBJ & Nabers check out.

[u/Same_Concern9454 → u/NoThanksImGoodG]

Nabers?? Come on

[u/Drummallumin → u/Same_Concern9454]

There’s the hard knocks clip where he tells daboll he gets pissed if he doesn’t get thrown the ball.

[u/Same_Concern9454 → u/Drummallumin]

Damn you just described almost every WR ever. I’m talking as a person outside of football

[u/greekyogurtmafia → u/Same_Concern9454]

Nabers has a diamond plated chain with his nickname on it lol. I love the guy and think he has best WR in the league potential, but he's a narcissist and that's totally fine.

[u/woodchips24 → u/greekyogurtmafia]

When he was drafted he referred to himself in the third person. Immediately texted my giants fans friends how talkative was elite WR1 diva behavior

[u/KenDaneykosDentist → u/greekyogurtmafia]

So does Jefferson and people don't think he's a diva. In fact, I'd say JJets and Leek are basically identical personalities.

[u/greekyogurtmafia → u/KenDaneykosDentist]

Personally I think Malik is a lot more expressive than JJ when it comes to things like sideline interactions and lets his frustrations be known to the media. Also, maybe this counts as diva behavior or not, but Malik was also arrested for illegal possession of a firearm. Either way both are absolute dawgs and I'd take them on my team every day of the week.

[u/Drummallumin → u/Same_Concern9454]

Damn you just described almost every WR ever

It’s almost like that’s why there’s a diva receiver stereotype

[u/BeKindPlsThankU → u/Same_Concern9454]

Yeah, Nabers lmao have you not seen anything he's ever said? Guy has been complaining and arrogant since his rookie year

[u/Number_16_Limitless → u/BeKindPlsThankU]

I feel like when people complain about diva WRs they’re talking about the TO/Antonio Brown types, which Nabers is very far off from atp

[u/BeKindPlsThankU → u/Number_16_Limitless]

Doesn't mean he's not toxic lol and aj brown and TO are nowhere near the same level as AB lmao just because there are different degrees of diva don't mean Nabers ain't one

[u/en_travesti → u/Number_16_Limitless]

People use it to refer to both and it makes it a very un-useful term.

There's diva (probably an asshole) and then diva (has committed multiple crimes)

[u/XSokaX → u/Same_Concern9454]

He literally had character concerns in the draft lol.

[u/Xaxziminrax → u/False_Pressure_6324]

the enemy speaks softly and carries a knife

[u/RadWalk → u/Fivedollaman]

He’s been on a horrible team/organization for years too

[u/uncoolaidman → u/Fivedollaman]

And that's the kind of team you don't want your guy on.

[u/MicrosoftOutlook2016]

I had to run a bunch of commercials with NFL players. Wilson was the only one who was easy to work with and the content came out super high quality.

[u/heephap → u/MicrosoftOutlook2016]

Go on tell us who was the most difficult?

[u/MicrosoftOutlook2016 → u/heephap]

Jalen Milroe. Nice guy but caused so many issues

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/MicrosoftOutlook2016]

That's interesting. Every report I've heard about the dude from our camps is that he's a super mature character guy from a military family background.

If he has trouble memorizing lines and such though, it probably explains the football side, which is that he's a bit of a slow processor and struggles to pick up the playbook a bit.

[u/MicrosoftOutlook2016 → u/ArseneLupinIV]

So he was very nice and honestly for me, with how many jerks there are, i appreciated a lot and didnt sour me on him despite the stress it caused me for half a year lol.

That being said he was beyond late doing what he needed to do and getting it to me, missing a lot of deadlines, and damaged the stuff we lent him and didnt tell us until we found out and asked, which, credit to him for not lying about it because he couldve said it was damaged during shipping. He also was super unresponsive which stressed me out as we had deadlines to hit before the year ended.

On the other hand, i understand the lateness and the slow responses because it was during the season and he was probably locked in, trying to be at his best.

[u/Ironborn137 → u/MicrosoftOutlook2016]

That dude for sure has ADHD.

[u/Nerfeveryone → u/MicrosoftOutlook2016]

What issues? Like bad at reading lines, bad at following directions?

[u/SeamanSample → u/heephap]

Mr Burdensome Character

[u/40ozToTheMoon → u/SeamanSample]

Mr Blundered Commercial

[u/DJFreezyFish → u/40ozToTheMoon]

Mr. Badly Cast

[u/ZJPV1 → u/DJFreezyFish]

Mr. Brutal Co-star

[u/JonBonButtsniff → u/ZJPV1]

Mr. Botched Cues

[u/Sir_Foxworth → u/SeamanSample]

Mr Bothersome Contributor

[u/bprs07 → u/SeamanSample]

Mr Bad Commercial

[u/AlwaysunnyNsocal → u/heephap]

Michael Crabtree

[u/WitcherOfWallStreet → u/AlwaysunnyNsocal]

I met Michael Crabtree years ago when I was a maid, he stayed in one of my rooms for like four days. He was super cool with me and one of the best tippers I’ve ever had. I’ll defend Crabtree forever after that lol

[u/FireFlyz351 → u/WitcherOfWallStreet]

Forever a Lubbock legend glad hes cool.

[u/loki1337 → u/AlwaysunnyNsocal]

You see what happens when you try to make a commercial with a sorry ass receiver like Crabtree?

[u/noreservations81590 → u/AlwaysunnyNsocal]

Damn, he's a sorry ass receiver AND a sorry ass commercial actor? That's tough.

[u/Who_Dey- → u/MicrosoftOutlook2016]

Got any stories you’d be able to share?

[u/MicrosoftOutlook2016 → u/Who_Dey-]

Garrett Wilson asked if he could have his dogs be included because he loves them a lot and of course i said yes haha

[u/Who_Dey- → u/MicrosoftOutlook2016]

Aww man I love that

[u/OverallSpring6568]

he's a real one

i've met mike alstott and mike evans and both took a few minutes to BS with me

[u/throweythingy17 → u/OverallSpring6568]

Mike Evans seems like a good guy

[u/OverallSpring6568 → u/throweythingy17]

yeah he is straight class. the time i met him was at chipotle, there was like 15 people in line and he walked up front and told the cashier he got everyone here and handed over his card. I guess everyone was nervous or whatever but i went over to thank him and he was like "so what are you up to today" and spent 5 minutes just talking.

[u/mags87 → u/OverallSpring6568]

Theres a Kelvin Benjamin joke somewhere in there that I just can't quite put together.

[u/istrx13 → u/throweythingy17]

Also a world class troll and trash talker with CBs lmao

[u/CrispierCupid → u/OverallSpring6568]

I met Brandon Marshall and it was the same thing, talked for a good couple minutes and complimented my glasses

[u/Same_Concern9454 → u/CrispierCupid]

Feel like a lot of people forget that the bulk of players are like that, the shitty ones just make the headlines

[u/good_morning_magpie → u/CrispierCupid]

Bill Wennington once got me so drunk I threw up later that night. I am forever grateful.

[u/Murderbot_420 → u/good_morning_magpie]

Did he even get buzzed? He’s 7’ tall.

[u/good_morning_magpie → u/Murderbot_420]

Genuinely don’t think he even felt it. The whole event was sponsored by Kettle One and he just kept ordering us doubles of straight vodka on the rocks and he was ordering at the pace that he was drinking them. I couldn’t keep up, as much as I tried haha

[u/Murderbot_420 → u/good_morning_magpie]

Sounds like drinking with Sabonis.

[u/good_morning_magpie → u/Murderbot_420]

Speaking of tall Eastern European NBA players, Tony Kukoč was at that same event. At some point I asked Bill who else was around as far as former players. He said he hadn’t seen Tony yet, but he had smelled that he was there somewhere 💀 Apparently he notoriously never wore deodorant.

[u/Pauliehatestheadmins → u/OverallSpring6568]

Man .. Alstott should be in the HOF

[u/OverallSpring6568 → u/Pauliehatestheadmins]

One of the greatest fullback in NFL history

[u/Altinvfinance]

dude put up 1000 yards in each of his first three years with zach wilson, mike white, flacco, tim boyle and siemian throwing him the ball. if anyone had an excuse to be a diva it was him

[u/Mr7three2 → u/Altinvfinance]

Literally QB proof

[u/South_Program_5947 → u/Altinvfinance]

I have severe PTSD from hearing the name Mike White

[u/IrishHambo → u/South_Program_5947]

“The Great White” Mike White

He’ll always have his Bengals legacy game

[u/latman → u/Altinvfinance]

And he was on pace for his best season yet last year with Fields and Tyrod before his injury

[u/DoctahFeelgood]

Wilson has always been a class act and hes put up numbers with good to ass QB play. Whoever they draft next year is going to be in the easiest position to succeed.

[u/Original-Paint2239 → u/DoctahFeelgood]

You can argue the jets have the best skill group on paper in the NFL

[u/mrnotoriousman → u/Original-Paint2239]

It's a solid young core but bro we are nowhere near the best skill group in the NFL

[u/gopaloo → u/Original-Paint2239]

Dunno about that. They're young and have a ton of potential and talent but there's certainly better groups than the jets. Id have thee Bears, Vikings, Lions, Rams, and Jags all easily better on paper, but it's an exciting time to be a Jets fan, especially if they can get a top offensive playcaller as their HC next season.

Look at what happened to the Raiders when Kubliak went over. Night and day

[u/Original-Paint2239 → u/gopaloo]

I would hear an argument for the Lions and maybe Bears but Vikings? No TE no WR2 or 3, bum old RB.

[u/Hookerface → u/Original-Paint2239]

Addison is one of the better WR2s in the league and Hockenson is fine to above average but agreed on RB

[u/amillimonster]

I legit think this dude is borderline top 5 if given a good qb and offense

[u/Mystic-Shock → u/amillimonster]

Even without that he’s for sure in the same tier as guys like Olave, McMillan, etc. (ie the tier below the top 6–JSN, JJ, Chase, Puka, Amon Ra, CeeDee)

[u/amillimonster → u/Mystic-Shock]

Most definitely. Sucks he’s been in a bottom 5 offense every year lol

[u/spanking_constantly → u/Mystic-Shock]

I would add Adams too

[u/latman → u/Mystic-Shock]

If you switch Garrett and Amon-Ra I think their numbers would also switch.

[u/radio__raheem → u/amillimonster]

Im biased but I always thought that about him and olave (and JSN ofc but everybody knows that now). Olave been proving me right so far

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/radio__raheem]

What are they feeding them WRs at Ohio State? Olave, Wilson, JSN is an insane lineup, Egbuka and McLaurin are no sloutches and they're about to put out Jeremiah Smith lol.

[u/teshh → u/ArseneLupinIV]

Ohio state has always been a premier destination for good wrs, so has Alabama. Georgia is a rb/te and defensive talent factory.

When you consistently send kids to the nfl in a certain position, those new high school prospects are going to want to come to your school.

[u/OneBigRed → u/teshh]

Hartline sure knew what he was doing recruiting and coaching WRs at OSU.

[u/RumHamEnjoyer → u/ArseneLupinIV]

Brian Hartline is what they were feeding them

[u/tuffghost8191 → u/RumHamEnjoyer]

He has imparted on these naturally gifted athletes the power of sneaky athletic, lunchpail mentality, thus making them unstoppable.

[u/silliputti0907 → u/amillimonster]

No question in my mind, though I felt like the elite tier is interchangeable. Like no one expected Pickens to have the year he had last year. Better offense and qb makes a huge difference for wrs. For Wilson to have the high floor he has had with his carousel of qbs and bad offenses is impressive.

[u/Original-Paint2239 → u/amillimonster]

He’s been unbelievable this season, better than ever

[u/TrueRedditMartyr → u/amillimonster]

0 doubt in my mind. Man is an unreal player 

[u/Separate_Teacher1526 → u/amillimonster]

Send him to SF and lets find out!

[u/justinballsonya → u/Separate_Teacher1526]

I don't know if a 7th round QB qualifies as "good" /s

[u/stoopkidsteve]

Garret Wilson has been one of my favorite players for awhile. Dude's in a shit organization and never complains, only finds a way to ball out. Also, he did a interview on the St. brown podcast that only made me like him more. All class.

[u/iwearatophat → u/stoopkidsteve]

Hadn't seen that one. Here it is for anyone else interested.

[u/antwan_blaze]

I was working at a high school football camp for big name sunglasses company when the super bowl was in town, and man it was so cool to see how he interacted with the kids. It was like he wanted to be there more than they did lol. He even chopped it up with me for maybe 2 min, and I was just some dude working. Dap up and a hug. Ill always be a fan.

[u/Neat-Woodpecker-4982]

Easy to forget how rare this mindset gets once someone becomes a star. Seems like a genuinely good dude

[u/outlawz42]

absolutely 100% needs to be a Jet for life.

[u/SadPineBooks → u/outlawz42]

I just hope they can build around him, for his sake and the fans.

[u/greekyogurtmafia]

Not a Jets fan but I live in New York and talk to a lot of Jets fans. I honestly believe Jets fans love Garrett Wilson as much as Buffalo loves Allen, Chiefs fans with Mahomes, etc.

[u/Jon-Umber → u/greekyogurtmafia]

We do, he's an amazing receiver and a great dude.

[u/Seven19td]

Early career Juju Smith Schuster was like that. I saw him around town often and he always took time to talk to fans, take pics, crack a joke. Cool to hear Garrett is much like that.

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/Seven19td]

People always clown on him but he gained my respect for blindsiding Burfict.

[u/MonkeyStealsPeach → u/RamblinWreckGT]

It’s the one “dirty” play where I can remember everyone unanimously being like “motherfucker had it coming and deserved it”

[u/RamblinWreckGT → u/MonkeyStealsPeach]

It's like the time Andre Johnson beat the shit out of Cortland Finnegan. I've never once seen someone say Andre was in the wrong.

[u/iwearatophat → u/RamblinWreckGT]

Excuse me. His name is Cortland Innegan. Johnson beat the F out of him.

[u/Kdot32 → u/RamblinWreckGT]

Multiple receivers said they would cover the fine lol

[u/tuffghost8191 → u/Seven19td]

Roethlisberger was the exact opposite. Motherfucker would routinely snap at kids who were asking for autographs, and treated everyone he considered "below him" like they were absolutely worthless

[u/TooSaucey4u → u/tuffghost8191]

That tracks. At least he’s consistently a piece of shit?

[u/Suspicious-Salary338]

Garrett Wilson is an awesome guy. No diva WR1 behavior from him and off the field I’ve only read good things about interactions. We don’t deserve him, but I’m so glad he’s a Jet.

[u/DisenfranchisedCynic]

I am now a Garrett Wilson fan. Humility and empathy are what makes a good role model.

[u/Plastic-Falcon9147]

The "five minutes" framing is the whole quote. It costs him nothing and the person he talks to remembers it for years. Some guys never figure out that math, and then act surprised when the building turns on them once the contract year gets messy.

[u/Mr7three2]

G5 is not only one of the best WRs in football, who is also completely QB proof but hes a stand up dude as well. Love Garrett and hope we can get it together as an organization so he can have success here. If not, he deserves all the success somewhere else.

[u/IllustriousRow9790]

Good on Wilson but this should be a default feeling for any human. If you don’t feel this way in life you’re probably a bad person tbh.

[u/sculpinn]

Met him at Urth Cafe in Vegas this summer and dude was super approachable and kind. We talked for bit and I left as a fan!

[u/pablo_booze]

Top 5 chilliest dude in the league fr

[u/Empire_of_walnuts → u/pablo_booze]

Oh no, I hope someone can get him a sweater

[u/Father_420_]

Jets, do this man a solid and trade him

[u/ShaunWhiteIsMyTwin → u/Father_420_]

He is the only thing that sparks joy

[u/Tho76 → u/ShaunWhiteIsMyTwin]

No love for Breece Hall?

[u/DinobotsGacha → u/ShaunWhiteIsMyTwin]

Def trade him, yall arent allowed to have joy

[u/DoctahFeelgood → u/ShaunWhiteIsMyTwin]

A lot of yalls rookies have looked awesome. Next draft yall will be able to get a QB and theyll have an excellent team around them.

[u/WildPhilosopher6171 → u/Father_420_]

Why, he might be the only thing we have to look forward to

[u/brandonsamd6 → u/Father_420_]

Fuck off 

[u/No-Penalty1722 → u/Father_420_]

God forbid the team tries to build around him.

[u/larockhead1 → u/Father_420_]

Fuck off.

[u/titomb345]

Shout old to a random Packers WR from the early 2000's Corey Bradford. He spent 5 minutes chatting with 10 year old me and my dad at a hotel in Chicago before a Bears game. He let me wear his #85 bling necklace too. Little things like that go a long way. I will always remember him.

Edit: just looked up his Wikipedia and saw this lol

Bradford holds the record for the lowest career catch rate in NFL history (minimum 200 career receptions), catching only 45.7% of the passes that were intended for him.

[u/HotTakesMyToxicTrait]

I want my WR1 to be way more arrogant and to act like gods gift to humanity, this type of humble behavior means he ain’t it

[u/DukeOfStuff_ → u/HotTakesMyToxicTrait]

JJ is the same way, I’m happy with him.

Wholesome news on the NFL subreddit?

Met Jarvis Landry a bunch of times at the hotel I used to valet. Super nice guy. Always talked life and ball.

[u/Material-Race-5107]

I would love for this guy to have a good consistent QB to work with. One of the most underrated players in the league

[u/Jonjon428]

Thanks for being a normal decent human Mr. Wilson

[u/RareTitansFan]

Respect. Dude would go off with an elite QB. Seems like a good piece to their locker room. Jets finally have some promise and direction.

“As Wilson got onto the team bus, Riley, Becky and Kenny hopped onto a rickshaw playing loud music and rode it away from Soldier Field, laughing the whole time.”

As an Indian who came to Chicago years ago, I am super confused by this sentence.

There are Rickshaws around soldier field?

[u/Kerbonaut2019]

My “favorite” Jet. Genuinely seems like a good dude. Most WRs would’ve forced their way out of there by now

It's honestly ridiculous that more football players don't have the same mindset. It's not like they're CEOs of major companies who have 10+ hours of meetings every single day and probably have to be at a meeting in 15 minutes if they're out and about. They practice, they workout, and they watch film. If they're not doing one of those things, they don't actually have things to do at the moment.

[u/notLennyD → u/Unrelenting_Salsa]

Do CEOs have 10+ hours of meetings every single day? I doubt it.

For pro athletes, practicing, working out, and watching film is a full time job (they also have team and positional meetings).

[u/D45ers → u/notLennyD]

Ya mostly. A lot of CEOs are like rentals these days. 2-3 year hire. Do all the dirty work and put their name behind all the unpopular decisions no one likes, layoffs, announcing bad shit for the company. It’s really like Roger goodell. They are figure heads for the board members lol. Paid to be the voice and fall guy make millions and fired with a package lol

[u/notLennyD → u/D45ers]

I doubt Roger Goodell is doing over 10 hours of meetings every single day. Maybe if you count the weekly golf outings, and the expensive lunches and dinners or whatever. But if we’re going to count that stuff, we can probably count every meal an athlete eats toward their “work time”.

[u/Djax99 → u/notLennyD]

you’re insane if you think athletes work more than CEOs

[u/Telucien → u/Unrelenting_Salsa]

All true, but a lot of people want to talk to famous athletes. They don't have time to stop and talk to everyone who wants to.

My take on Wilson,

Dude is such a slept on WR, like seriously. When he’s healthy Wilson is a beast. He’s balled out when he’s played, and he’s played with some pretty awful QBs. Now he’s got Geno Smith at least. My fantasy leagues always underrates the hell out of him, and so do a lot of other people. I really think its just because he plays for the Jets so people dont really care?

Idk, that being said, he’s also a great guy off the field. Dude is just a stand up guy. Respect the heck out of him and it looks like the Jets got a really good guy.

[u/Fabulous_Volume7831]

God i wish he was our reciever

[u/cytokine7]

As a Jets fan who is always between wanting to tank and win games, the main reason I’m leaning into winning games is for this man. He deserves better.

[u/TrappyGoGetter]

Wilson, Warren, and Jeanty are the heart of my team.

[u/Hammerdown426]

Tee Higgins is also similarly casual and kind.

[u/Wandererthrowaway108]

He refuses to eat "leftover" food and I hold that against him! 

[u/rushingoat]

One of my fav players not on the Giants. A gem of a receiver and a better person

[u/Refamonkey]

G5 genuinely is one of the best high character people in football.

[u/Americasycho]

I exist only in the Titans universe but:

• Jack Locker took plenty of time to talk.

• Kenny Britt was great to talk with.

• Karl Klug good, Jurell Casey good (the widest human being I've ever seen in my life).

• Al Del Greco good. Rocky Boiman good. So were Tony Brown, Stephen Tulloch, Ben Troupe, Frank Wychek.

• Sadly, the only player I came across who wouldn't give you the time of day, was Chris Johnson.
