Jets WR Wilson shares sly response to 49ers’ Ward after subtle diss originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
With all the excitement that comes with Week 1 of a new NFL season, one specific matchup might be even more fun to watch when the 49ers host the New York Jets at Levi’s Stadium to open the 2024 campaign.
When 49ers Pro Bowl cornerback Charvarius Ward was asked how to pick off Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers during a May appearance on the “Up & Adams” show, his response caught the attention of Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson — and many others.

“I saw it. It’s cool,” Wilson told reporters Wednesday after Jets training camp. “They’re right, frankly. It’s all good, I ain’t done nothing yet. I’m excited to have an opportunity to do it on them and get it rolling. That’s just how it is. Any opponent we play, that’s the mindset. They have a scouting report and they take their notes. They’re good at their job, too, so if that’s their analysis of me as a player, that’s fair. They’re entitled to their opinion.
“But I’m really just excited to get the opportunity to prove to the world what we can do here in New York and what I can do. Because I agree. I ain’t done nothing. I got to go prove to the world that I can be who I think I am. So I’m excited.”
“I saw it. It’s cool. They’re right, frankly. It’s all good. I ain’t done nothing yet. I’m excited to have the opportunity to do it on them, get it rolling.”
