It’s been all but a foregone conclusion for a long time now that the New York Jets would take BYU quarterback Zach Wilson with the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night, but nevertheless, there was still some great reaction on Twitter when it finally became official.
From BYU alums and fans

I have mixed emotions...I’m stoked for Zach and I’m sick for Zach. He’s got a tough road ahead of him but if anyone has the mental toughness to do it, Zach does. Let’s go! #NFLDraft2021 #BYUFootball

And @BYUfootball puts another QB in the league. This tweet was brought to you by @Verizon #VerizonPartner but mostly @UtahCoachWhitt.

Especially about Wilson’s baby face
Zach Wilson looks like he's 14.
