Garrett Wilson Listed Among Top 10 NFL Wide Receivers by CBS Sports

Garrett Wilson was ranked No. 10 in the CBSSports.com listing of the top 20 wide receivers ahead of the 2024 NFL season.

According to writer Jordan Dajani, in a story posted recently: “It’s officially ‘list szn,’ and what could be more controversial than ranking wide receivers? Behind quarterback, wide receiver is arguably the second-most ‘premier’ position. After all, we saw a contract signed this offseason that made a pass-catcher the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.”

Wilson, the Jets’ top wide receiver, was targeted 168 times last season (by several different QBs), had 95 receptions for 1,042 yards and 3 TDs. Entering his third season for the Green & White, Wilson and Aaron Rodgers received some support during the offseason when the Jets signed Mike Williams in free agency and drafted in the third round Malachi Corley out of Western Kentucky.

“Wilson’s monster season is coming in 2024 if Aaron Rodgers can stay healthy,” Dajani wrote. “He’s the first Jets player to cross 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two NFL seasons, and he’s played with six different quarterbacks! In his second-ever NFL game with Joe Flacco at quarterback, Wilson caught 8 passes for 102 yards and 2 touchdowns [during a furious, late-game rally for a victory at Cleveland]. Watch that be the norm with Rodgers throwing the rock.”
