New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson remains one of the most underrated players at his position.

In all four of his NFL seasons, the Ohio State product has led the Jets in receiving yards, eclipsing 1,000 yards in all three of his fully healthy years, and still led the team with 396 yards in 2025 despite playing just seven games.

He has also dealt with immense instability at quarterback, catching passes from nine different quarterbacks throughout his professional career. Yet, his production has remained top-tier.

If only the respect shot his way could approach his own statistical consistency.

G5 ranked as WR14

CBS’s Pete Prisco recently listed his annual top 100 players in the league, where Wilson was omitted, and 13 receivers were named ahead of him.

Here is a look at those 13 receivers:

  • Ja’Marr Chase (No. 4 overall)
  • Justin Jefferson (No. 8 overall)
  • Puka Nacua (No. 9 overall)
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba (No. 13 overall)
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown (No. 46 overall)
  • CeeDee Lamb (No. 60 overall)
  • A.J. Brown (No. 64 overall)
  • George Pickens (No. 66 overall)
  • Chris Olave (No. 71 overall)
  • Nico Collins (No. 79 overall)
  • Tee Higgins (No. 89 overall)
  • Drake London (No. 96 overall)
  • Malik Nabers (No. 99 overall)

Yes, Wilson suffered a knee injury last season, which cut his season short and limited him to only seven games. Given that, it would be surprising to see his ranking be close to the top among receivers.

Still, should he have dropped to No. 14?

Malik Nabers?

However, Prisco has New York Giants youngster Malik Nabers at No. 99, a two-year weapon who played in just four games last season before tearing his ACL. Surgical repairs could also force him to miss the start of the 2026 season.

In those four games, Nabers caught 18 of his 35 targets for 271 yards and two touchdowns.

“He is coming off a season cut short by a torn ACL and recently underwent a second surgery. So there is reason for concern. But if he’s healthy, he will be much higher on this list next year,” Prisco wrote of Nabers.

Following the logic that “if he’s healthy, he will be much higher on this list next year,” there is no reason Wilson shouldn’t be not only on the list but also placed ahead of Nabers, given his consistency and ability to compile elite numbers regardless of who is throwing the football.

Ultimately, Garrett Wilson’s omission from this list can be categorized as disrespectful to the New York Jets star.
