Jets' Garrett Wilson among exclusive group of wide receivers in NFL history

The New York Jets signed wide receiver Garrett Wilson to a long-term extension this offseason and for good reason.

Here is a reason why.

Despite the spotty quarterback play Wilson has had in his young career in New York, he's still put up number. Historic ones, in fact.

Wilson is only one of five wideouts in NFL history to put up more than 1,000 yards receiving in the first three years of his career. That certainly relates to the modern passing league the NFL currently is, but nonetheless, it's still impressive from Wilson.

Here's who Wilson holds this honor with:
