New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has had himself a busy last several months.
In addition to preparing for his sophomore NFL campaign, Wilson also spent much of the summer fending off rumors, speculation and innuendos regarding his romantic life.
This week, the trend continued.
In a now-viral Instagram post, Wilson’s presumed girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno shared a photo of the duo seemingly getting intimate:
Understandably, it immediately set the internet ablaze. Not quite like when fans attempted to identify which of his mother’s friends Wilson allegedly slept with – but still to a fairly substantial degree.
Interestingly enough, this isn’t the first time Wilson and Dellanno have blown up online in this fashion. The pair’s relationship first came under scrutiny when people noticed how they were behaving at a New York Yankees game.
Then came Dellano’s various provocative photos and details.
And it appears they are going strong to this day.
Dellanno boasts more than 41,000 followers on Instagram and routinely makes headlines for posts like this:

In that respect, it’s safe to assume that this likely isn’t the last time her name will land in the news cycle next to Wilson’s.
As for Wilson, he has yet to see the field in this young 2022-23 NFL season. After a lot of hype and excitement about what he would look like this year, particularly after his epic body transformation, he went and got hurt in the beginning of the preseason.
That led to the 23-year-old having meniscus surgery, which has kept him out of practice until literally just this week. The Jets have already announced that backup quarterback Joe Flacco will serve as the team’s starter in Week 2, again.
Many were eager to see what Wilson would bring to the fold this season, but so far his mom’s ‘sexy’ birthday party photos have generated far more buzz in recent weeks than anything he has been able to do. Ditto for this Dellanno stuff.
Hopefully Wilson get right physically, do what he needs to mentally and get back out on the field as soon as possible. Obviously injuries are an uncontrollable part of the game, but getting hurt at literally the starting point of the preseason feels like bad omen.
All of Wilson’s summer antics were clearly good fun for everybody (except maybe his ex-girlfriend), but play time is over. He needs to deliver on some of the promise he showed at BYU that led to the Jets making him their franchise quarterback.

Will 2022-23 be the year Wilson elevates his game and becomes one of the NFL’s more promising young passers?
An answer should emerge in the coming next few weeks and months.
