Jets can find blueprint for Zach Wilson’s future in Bills, Josh Allen
‘“Credit to Buffalo, they’ve kind of found his style,” Jets head coach Robert Saleh said. “He kind of plays like Ben Roethlisberger did back in his younger days.

They’ve really done a nice job kind of finding what he does well and letting him go do it. They’ve also surrounded him with some significant talent.”’
