There will also be a great deal of pressure on head coach Robert Saleh to aid Wilson in his development as he leads the team in his sophomore season with the Jets. However, Wilson’s success this season may very well hinge on the weapons he has in the passing game. Since tearing his Achilles in Week 1 of the 2020 season, though, Mack has been a non-factor, finishing his journey with the Indianapolis Colts with six games played in 2021 and gaining 101 scoreless yards on just 28 carries. Adding to the potential for big things from Moore and the rest of the receivers in 2022, on Friday SNY NFL expert Brandon London spoke about New York’s pass catchers and why there is so much to like. In 2022, Jets quarterback Zach Wilson will have a lot of pressure on him to make major improvements and display he has grown as a possible franchise QB in his second season. David Lombardi of The Athletic noted earlier this week that there is a bit of history between Aiyuk and Warner. Last week, Aiyuk called the 2020 All-Pro linebacker "annoying" and "irritating," whereas Warner said the treatment of the first-round pick was purely motivational. "Mr. Harvey served as the Attorney General of New Jersey and is now a partner at the Paterson Belknap firm in New York," the NFL said in an official statement. Trotter noted that the league also wants Watson to be fined and to undergo "treatment." "The NFL's appeal addresses whether, based on the findings made by Judge Robinson, the discipline should be modified to include a professional evaluation and treatment as determined by medical experts, an appropriate fine, and a longer suspension," the league added in its Thursday statement. While it’s true that Sands has been hit hard in St. Paul this season (5.59 ERA in 48 1/3 frames), he posted a brilliant 2.46 ERA through 80 1/3 Double-A frames last year and also notched a sub-3.00 ERA in his first full pro season with the Twins back in 2019. Per ESPN's Jake Trotter and The Associated Press, Harvey is also a member of the NFL's Diversity Advisory Committee. As was the case during the disciplinary hearing in front of Judge Robinson, the NFL is reportedly asking that Watson receive an indefinite suspension that would prevent him from playing for at least one entire season. With a standout showing, the 335-pounder is in the driver's seat to start Week 1. Ameer Abdullah scored the lone touchdown for the backfield, sneaking in a score on one of his two rushes. Skyy Moore: Regular Season Most Rookie Receiving Yards (+1000) The Chiefs selected Moore in the second round of this year's NFL Draft, and the young slot receiver from Western Michigan has a tremendous opportunity to slot in as an immediate contributor for this offense.
