The Denver Broncos overhauled their quarterback room this offseason, and part of that overhaul included trading for former New York Jets No. 2 pick Zach Wilson to serve as a potential high-upside backup to rookie No. 12 pick Bo Nix and veteran Jarrett Stidham.
Not only does Wilson have a new uniform and a new number, but he also apparently has a new look according to recent team photos.
Photos surfaced from a Broncos team photo shoot and Wilson looks to be sporting a new slicked-back hairstyle that has him looking younger than he did on draft day a few years ago.

Team photo day is always a fun time, and fans really ran with this one.
Dude looks younger than he did at draft day and I didn’t think that was possible.

Aura is off the charts

He looks like what would be on the package of a broncos Halloween costume for kids

Wilson is still just 24 years old and was abruptly forced back into a starting job with the Jets last season after Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles during his first drive of the season, and Wilson was largely underwhelming once again.
Wilson threw eight touchdowns and seven interceptions across 12 games and completed 60.1 percent of his passes, which was a big step up from his first two seasons.
He did have a couple of big performances, namely when he threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Houston Texans and a feisty 245-yard 2-touchdown performance in a narrow loss to the Kansas City Chiefs early in the year.
We’ll see if head coach Sean Payton can find something in Wilson and get him back to the talented prospect he looked like coming out of BYU, and maybe his new hair will help remind him who he is.
