"Josh don’t be a d**k" - Zach Wilson's mom Lisa shuts down IG troll who body-shamed her
Zach Wilson needs tough skin to play football in the New York market, but his mother is the poster child for standing up to internet bullies. The mother of the New York Jets quarterback recently promoted a local bakery and its donuts on social media. One troll went as far as to criticize her weight, commenting:
“You look like you ate ALL the donuts – damn girl! Chill”
Lisa Wilson was quick to shut him down.

While Zach Wilson and the offense will undoubtedly get most of the attention, the Jets defense will also have to make strides to keep up in the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills remain the favorite in the division, while the New England Patriots look to keep pace with the Miami Dolphins, who made blockbuster trades and moves to turn around their fortunes.
The spotlight will be on the Bills and the Patriots, but the Jets could sneak into the playoff conversation if Wilson can make that second-year leap.
