Zach Wilson, the former No. 2 overall pick, is adjusting to his new life in Denver after being traded to the Broncos this offseason. Despite the changes, he managed to carve out some downtime over the Memorial Day weekend.
Wilson, alongside his girlfriend Nicolette Dellano, escaped to Lake Powell, which straddles the border between Utah and Arizona.
The couple enjoyed the picturesque scenery, and Dellano captured the moment with several photos, including one of her and Wilson smiling on their boat.

As Wilson prepares for his first season with the Broncos, following his trade last month, he finds himself in a new competitive environment. The Broncos have also brought in former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix, a first-round draft pick, setting the stage for a spirited battle for the starting quarterback position.
This season marks a significant shift for Wilson; for the first time in his career, he will enter a quarterback competition with more experience than his competitor, which could advantage him in securing the starting role.
Out of the intense media spotlight of New York and away from the towering presence of four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers, Wilson is under the guidance of one of football’s top offensive minds, Sean Payton. This change presents Wilson with a prime opportunity to redefine his career.
In Denver, Wilson faces fewer immediate pressures and a more supportive environment, which might allow him to fulfill the potential that was anticipated when he first entered the league.
For now, Wilson is enjoying his summer, recharging before he dives into the rigorous demands of the upcoming NFL season.
