Zach Wilson’s dad had the most wholesome message about his son playing Aaron Rodgers

Zach Wilson Aaron Rodgers Mike Wilson NFL

For a second-year quarterback like Zach Wilson, he’s potentially only at the beginning of a career full of milestones and awe-inspiring moments. That doesn’t mean his parents — and rightfully so — won’t revel in every step of such a journey.

On Sunday, before Wilson’s Jets got set to take on Aaron Rodgers’ Packers (-7.5), Wilson’s dad shared a touching message on Twitter about his son realizing his “dream.” The matchup with the four-time MVP Rodgers — who a 23-year-old Wilson apparently grew up watching — is what inspired the wholesome reaction/reflection from Mike Wilson.

If you’re a parent and you read this message — you can undoubtedly relate to the obvious pride oozing out of it:

Mike Wilson will probably be beaming with pride all day as he watches his son try to beat a living NFL legend. And I don’t blame him.

NFL fans were touched by Zach Wilson's dad's pride for his son
