While the New York Jets didn't land the top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, some of the incredible statistics from the2025 season are hard to believe.
Their season-long interception drought is a wild feat, but one of the more stunning statistics from this season happened on the offensive side of the ball with the receiver corps.
As pointed out by Football Perspective on Twitter/x, the Jets' leading receiver this season hasn't caught a pass since October 12th. This is hard to believe, but it's reality for the Jets offense in 2025.
Jets' leading receiver hasn't caught a pass in 2.5 months
The Jets' leading receiver in 2025 is Garrett Wilson, who had 295 receiving yards this season. Wilson last caught a pass for the Jets on October 12th against the Denver Broncos in Week 6. The player who led the Jets in receiving yards went 2.5 months without a catch.
Wilson caught his final pass against the Broncos amid a 3-of-8 performance for just 13 yards. His last catch came in the final drive of the Jets-Broncos game, and it was a seven-yard reception from Justin Fields.
Since that moment, on October 12th, Wilson's yard total hasn't changed, as he missed a few weeks before returning in Week 10, getting three targets before getting another injury and missing the rest of the season.

The next closest player was Mason Taylor, who had 369 yards this season on 44 receptions. Breece Hall was third with 350 yards on 36 catches, and Adonai Mitchell, traded for at the deadline, was fourth with 312 yards.
The Jets offense couldn't move the ball much at all this season, and with a brutal second half of 2025, with Wilson on the sideline, the leading receiver for the Jets finished with 395 yards, and no catches since October 12th in Week 6.
