Zach Wilson eyes Saints backup QB role
Wilson’s performance Saturday sparked a conversation of whether he should pass Rattler on the depth chart and be Tyler Shough’s backup.
New Orleans Saints quarterback Zach Wilson made an impressive debut, showcasing his skills in his first NFL game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Shaking off a loss, Wilson completed 11 of 16 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown during the 24-20 contest. His performance, marked by a single sack, drew attention to his potential as the team's backup quarterback.
Saints head coach Kellen Moore expressed his satisfaction with Wilson's play, noting that he is part of a talented group of quarterbacks. Wilson himself, while unsure about his role, is focused on competing and improving each day. Running back Ty Chandler and undrafted rookie Hunter Dekkers also contributed on offense, while backup QB Spencer Rattler had a less successful outing.
