Zach Wilson and his girlfriend Abbey Gile shared a sweet and nostalgic moment while in Denver, where the Jets suffered a 26-0 loss to the Broncos Sunday.
Gile took to her Instagram Story to share a throwback photo with Wilson, posing on Denver’s home field — and explained the significance of being back at Empower Field at Mile High.
“This pic was taken in 2017. I grew up a Denver fan and my family took Zach to his first NFL game. I was 16 and Zach was 18,” Gile wrote over the photo, which showed the Jets rookie quarterback rocking a Broncos tee.
“Today was both mine and Zach’s first time back to Mile High and he was playing on the field this time. So surreal. Life is a blessing,” Gile explained, adding a green heart emoji.
She shared a separate photo with Wilson and wrote, “Always proud of him.”
In another slide, Gile posted a mirror selfie advertising her custom white sweatsuit by The Denim Blonde, that had Wilson’s name and No. 2 on it.
In Sunday’s brutal loss to the Broncos, Wilson was sacked five times and hit nine times. He didn’t have much help from the offense, and finished 19 of 35 for 160 yards with two interceptions.
After going 0-3 to start the season, Wilson explained that confidence is key moving forward.
“People can hate all they want. What is feeling sorry for ourselves going to do? We need to keep our confidence high and understand that we’re in this position for a reason and understand that we have the talent, we have the players, we have the coaches and the schemes to get this thing done,” he said.
Wilson and Gile have been romantically linked since high school. She was on hand to support the BYU product at the 2021 NFL Draft, where he was selected second overall by the Jets.
