New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson has been known to take risks on the field to make game-changing plays, but a recent photo circulating online suggests he may be pushing the boundaries off the field as well.
The viral image captures Wilson sitting precariously on the edge of an unidentified building in a bustling cityscape. It’s unclear whether any safety measures, such as protective netting or nearby lower floors, are in place to mitigate the risk of a fall.
Adding to the spectacle, Wilson is seen defiantly flipping the bird to the camera, prompting a range of reactions from users on social media platform X, many of which veer toward dark humor:
“This is what playing for the Jets does to people,” remarked multiple fans.
“If I had Zach Wilson throwing me the ball and wasting a season of my career I’d be on the same timing,” quipped another user.
“Bro, it’s not that bad… there’s things called trades and free agency,” offered a third commenter.

Despite the off-field antics, Wilson has emerged as a standout performer on the Jets’ offense in his first two seasons. Garnering Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2022 and achieving his second consecutive 1,000-yard season in 2023, Wilson’s promising trajectory has bolstered the team’s confidence.
Indeed, the Jets’ bold move to acquire Aaron Rodgers in the 2023 offseason was fueled in part by Wilson’s stellar performance. While the partnership with Rodgers didn’t yield the desired results last season, expectations remain high for Wilson’s continued success, especially if Rodgers returns to full health in 2024.
However, the photo serves as a stark reminder to refrain from attempting such risky behavior at home or elsewhere.
