The New York Jets came into the 2021 season with high hopes of Zach Wilson being the future. One injury to the QB and now the fan base is excited about another QB.
MetLife Stadium crowd began screaming “Mike White, Mike White, Mike White” during their game against the Cincinnati Bengals. White, the Jets’ unknown backup making his first NFL start, threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns as the Jets shocked the Bengals 34-31 on Sunday.
The 26-year-old quarterback went viral on social media after somebody found an old tweet from him.
“Peyton Manning, I hate to break it to you, but I’m gonna break your record one day,” White tweeted back in 2013.
