Garrett Wilson is definitely putting people on notice as an NFL Rookie.

The former Ohio State wide receiver Wilson has been receiving all the praise in his first season with the New York Jets, earning the NFL Rookie of the Week title for the 4th time this season.

On Thursday, Wilson was named the NFL’s Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week for his play in Week 13, among also becoming the first rookie in franchise history to have three games with at least 100 yards receiving in a season.

Despite the Jets losing in Week 13’s game against the Vikings last Sunday, Wilson set a phenomenal career-high. He gained an outstanding 162 yards receiving, tying a career best with 8 receptions in last week’s matchup.

Overall this season, as a rookie, Wilson has a total of 4 touchdowns, 790 receiving yards and 57 receptions.
