“Undisputed” co-host Skip Bayless discussed Wilson with fellow host Shannon Sharpe on a recent show.
"I'm not ready to go special on Zach Wilson. As I watch him in the preseason, what I'm seeing more and more of is he is at his best when he's on the move and he does have a special arm," Bayless said about Wilson.
The outspoken sports host went on to talk about why he thinks Wilson can have a successful career in the NFL.
"I love what I'm seeing. Do I think he has Mahomes' arm, no. But I do think he's going to be legit. What I like the most about him is he has body language confidence. He has poise beyond his years, he is not afraid."
Skip Bayless then made one of his classic "hot takes" about Zach Wilson's future potential in the National Football League.
"I think he can be better than Tua. I'm already ready to declare that Zach Wilson is clearly going to be better than Sam Darnold," Bayless exclaimed.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe agreed with Bayless in regards to Wilson having a bright future in the league.
"Skip, he has the potential to be special, he can make throws, he can get out of the pocket, if you just watch him throw the football, he's special," Sharpe said on Monday's show.
