New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson showed his offensive line some love this holiday season when he gave them all scooters.
Wilson has returned to the Jets starting lineup, bringing gifts for his offensive line.
The quarterback started in place of the injured Mike White in the Jets’ loss to the Lions over the weekend, and while he didn’t pick up a win on Sunday, he did provide the goods in a slightly different way.

Offense guard Nate Herbig shared a short clip to his Instagram Story about Wilson’s generous gift.
Herbig can be heard saying, “Oh man, I appreciate you man,” while focusing on Wilson putting up a peace sign, before shyly looking away from the camera.
The shot then pans away from the 23-year-old to a row of eight scooters lined up on an indoor field at the Jets’ practice facilities.

Wilson recently regained a starting role with the Jets after Mike White was out through injury.
White fractured his ribs on December 9 against the Buffalo Bills and missed Sunday’s New York game against the Lions.
Wilson is expected to be the New York Jets quarterback again this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night after White was again ruled out despite his efforts to get cleared for the game.
Wilson had been benched and listed as inactive for three games before White was injured.

On his return to the lineup, Wilson had a mixed bag of results. The sophomore threw for 317 yards and two touchdowns, but he missed several open receivers and threw a costly interception in the third quarter.
He also lacked accuracy at times and finished the game with an off-target percentage of 35.3, which was a season-high, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
Head coach Robert Saleh has done his best to rally around the youngster, saying, “There are quarterbacks in the history of the time that just took a little bit longer to find their groove.

“So when you see Zach, he has a lot of things that you just can’t teach. Some of what he does you just can’t teach him.
“For him, it’s just learning the timing and rhythm aspect, the intermediate passing game and finding that consistency for four quarters. When he’s in the rhythm and hitting all cylinders, it’s pretty cool to watch.
Wilson has endured a turbulent season that began off the field when his ex-girlfriend Abbey Gile accused him of sleeping with his mother’s best friend ahead of the pre-season.

Giles’ accusation came after Washington Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne – Wilson’s former college roommate – apparently revealed a relationship with her on Instagram.
When someone commented that Gile was a “homie hopper,” she deflected the insult to the Jets’ QB.
‘[Wilson] slept with his mom’s best friend…this is the real homie Hopper,” she wrote in July in a now-deleted comment.
