FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — As Zach Wilson flew on a red-eye flight from California to the East Coast early Thursday morning, he reclined in one of those premier seats that converts into a bed. The harsh wake-up came on Friday morning against N.F.L. defenders on the brilliant green grass of the Jets’ practice field. Wilson, the young quarterback the Jets hope will eventually lead them to a second Super Bowl in more than half a century, had a rough inauguration on his first day of N.F.L. There were missed passes, a would-be sack and a bad interception after Wilson missed the first two days of camp because he and the team had not resolved contract negotiations.
