Watch: Justin Fields finds Garrett Wilson at offseason workouts

Fields and Wilson played together at Ohio State in 2019 and 2020, forming one of the most electric QB-WR duos in the country. Despite never capturing a national title, the connection was undeniable.

Fields threw for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns when targeting Wilson, finishing with a 133.0 passer rating on those plays.

“I mean, it’s awesome, of course,” Fields said of their reunion. “We played together in college, and when I saw him, it was really like the old days. I don’t think our relationship skipped a beat.”

Wilson, now 24, is heading into his fourth NFL season. The Jets picked up his fifth-year option this week, keeping him under contract through 2026.

He’s already made franchise history, becoming the first Jets receiver to post three straight 1,000-yard seasons, and he’s done it while catching passes from eight different starting quarterbacks.

Since being drafted in 2022, Wilson ranks 10th among NFL wide receivers in yardage (3,249) and seventh in receptions (270).

Fields, meanwhile, signed a two-year deal with the Jets this offseason worth up to $40 million, with $30 million guaranteed. New York marks his third NFL stop after stints with the Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers.

In 2024, he started six games for Pittsburgh, leading the team to a 4-2 record while completing 65.8% of his passes for 1,106 yards, five touchdowns, and just one interception before being benched.

Now, Fields is looking to reset his career, and with a familiar face back in his huddle, the Jets hope that the chemistry from Columbus can carry over to Sundays in the Meadowlands.
