According to TMZ, here’s how part of Friday’s interview went between Carton and Wilson, the No. 2 pick overall in the 2021 NFL Draft:
Carton
: “Your mom has become the lead story, and I say that respectfully because people are like, ‘the star of the first round of the draft is Mrs. Wilson because she’s a very attractive woman.’ . And, I’m just wondering how awkward that is for you, that you just got picked second overall in the NFL draft, and the focus is, ‘wow, his mom is really hot.’”
Zach Wilson was chosen by the New York Jets on Thursday, in the second draft pick of the night. Wilson, 21, was seen celebrating with his Instagram-star mother, who began trending.
