Wilson's efficient preseason debut opens QB2 competition with strong accuracy and TD.

Wilson was the Saints' best passer in Week 1 preseason, completing 11-of-16 for 145 yards and a touchdown with no turnovers and just one sack. His 9.1 yards per attempt efficiency stood out; he passed for more yards than Spencer Rattler and Hunter Dekkers combined and was the only QB to record a passing touchdown. Wilson's throws were quick, accurate, and placed in tight coverage with good velocity. The source notes his strong day 'definitely opened the door' to a QB2 competition.
