MATT HARMON: Matt Harmon here with Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. Garrett, how are you doing, man?
GARRETT WILSON: I'm doing good, man.
MATT HARMON: How many times have you been asked, while you're doing Radio Row postseason interviews, about like who's going to be the quarterback next year? And are you sick of being asked that question? You see, I'm not asking you the question.
GARRETT WILSON: I appreciate that.
MATT HARMON: I'm seeing if you've been sick of being asked about it.
GARRETT WILSON: Yeah, I appreciate you, Matt. You know, honestly, man, I've been asked that question in every interview.
MATT HARMON: Yeah.
GARRETT WILSON: Yeah, it's probably been about 20, 30 times. And-- and I keep giving the same answer. I'm trying to give the same answer. I'm trying to be as consistent as I can be. But, yeah, man, I'm kind of tired of answering it. I ain't going to lie.
MATT HARMON: Yeah, it's like how about you just ask me about me? You know what I'm saying? Like why don't you just talk about me and not other positions?
GARRETT WILSON: They're asking me like I got something to do with it, you know, like I got my hand in who we get. I'm like, I don't know.
MATT HARMON: Joe Douglas killed the draft this last year. You guys developed really well. What was the bond like in that rookie class this year?
GARRETT WILSON: It was a great bond. Because we could talk about anything with each other. We're all going through the same thing, relatively. And it's not often you come in with two other, you know, rookie first-round picks. So, for me to know that I had two other dudes in the facility going through exactly what I was going through, and everything being new to them, and putting a lot of pressure on themselves, you know, it felt good to be able to bounce my thoughts off of them sometimes.
MATT HARMON: We're here to talk about you with Pepsi here. What you got going on with them?
GARRETT WILSON: Yeah, man, so I was blessed during the season to take home about three belts or four belts. And, you know, Breece got to take some home. And Sauce did, as well. At the end of this week, I'll have a chance to take home a Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week-- Rookie of the Year, excuse me. So I'm really excited to see how that-- that voting finishes. And a lot of great candidates, so I'm blessed to be a part of the candidates.
