Mike White has arrived yet again, ladies and gentlemen of New York Jets fandom. In his first game of the 2022 NFL season, Mike “Freaking” White threw for a cool 315 yards and three touchdowns in a 31-10 shellacking of the Chicago Bears at MetLife Stadium.
After weeks of uncertainty, head coach Robert Saleh finally made the call to bench Zach Wilson, which paved the way for the Halloween hero of 2021.
White, 27, got the call for the baby Jets, who seemed to respond incredibly well. Not only did Garrett Wilson go for nearly 100 yards and two touchdowns, but Elijah Moore—the kid whose face has been on a milk carton all season long—tallied his first touchdown of the season.
Sure, White may have fifth-round draft status, but the fans cannot get enough. The longshot quarterback nobody gave a chance now has a shot to make the New York Jets starting quarterback job his for good.
