    Did Zach Wilson Fiancée Just Set a New Trend with Her ‘Mrs.’ Bikini?

    Zach Wilson may be 0 on the field when it comes to jersey numbers, but off the field his fiancée Nicolette Dellanno is proving she’s anything but a zero. With her recent Instagram post showing off a bold white bikini that reads “Mrs. Wilson” on the back, fans are wondering if this trendsetter might just have started something big.

    The Bikini Story

    Nicolette Dellanno, 23, posted on Instagram about her upcoming wedding to Zach Wilson. In a photo of her in a white bikini with “Mrs. Wilson” on the back, she captioned it “soon to be 🤭🤍”. The pic not only shows off her tan but also her excitement and anticipation for their June wedding.

    This isn’t your average pre-wedding announcement. By combining her bridal enthusiasm with a fun twist, Dellanno has mixed romance and fashion in a way that feels new and modern. Is this the start of a new trend for brides-to-be?

    A Love Story from New York

    Wilson, 25, met Dellanno during his time with the New York Jets in 2022. Their relationship took off, and even after Wilson signed with the Denver Broncos last season (where he didn’t play a game), the couple was inseparable. Now, with Wilson starting a new chapter with the Dolphins, Dellanno is right by his side, in style and spirit.

    She’s more than just an NFL WAG; she’s a public figure in her own right with a wardrobe and personality that’s got followers hooked. From vacation looks in Mexico to planning a bachelorette party, Dellanno seems to turn life’s milestones into moments.

    Setting Trends or Simply Celebrating Love?

    Some might say Dellanno’s “Mrs.” bikini is just another fun accessory to go with her engagement, while others are wondering if this will start a trend from brides-to-be around the world. What better way to celebrate being married than with a custom bikini?

    It’s not the first time social media influencers have started trends with their content. With over 100k followers waiting for her next move, Dellanno’s post might just inspire others to go big with their love before their big day.

  • Can Zach Wilson Be an NFL Starter Again? He’s Betting On Himself

    Can Zach Wilson Be an NFL Starter Again? He’s Betting On Himself

    Zach Wilson isn’t done being an NFL starting quarterback. Despite being the 3rd string QB for the Denver Broncos in 2024 and not taking a single snap in the regular season, the former 2nd overall pick is still feeling good about his future.

    Last week he signed with the Miami Dolphins, where he’ll be backing up Tua Tagovailoa. For some that might seem like a step back, but for Wilson it’s another chance to prove himself and set himself up for a comeback.

    Not Ready to Be Labeled a “Journeyman”

    When talking to reporters in Miami on Monday, Wilson said he’s not ready to be labeled a journeyman quarterback. According to The Palm Beach Post, he said:

    “There’s nothing wrong with being a journeyman. But I still believe I can be a starter in this league when the opportunity comes.”

    Wilson’s motivation comes from recent examples of quarterbacks who turned their careers around after being in similar situations. Guys like Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield were considered journeyman and had big years with new teams last season. Wilson sees himself doing the same.

    “Just trying to put myself in the best situation with the best team and coaches and do the absolute best that I can. And then, you know, hopefully at some point you can get that opportunity to show what you can do.”

    Your Chance to Shine Behind Tua Tagovailoa

    While Tua Tagovailoa is the clear starter, he’s been injured a lot throughout his career. Last year he missed 4 games early in the season due to a concussion and the last 2 games of the year due to a hip injury, per CBS Sports.

    If called upon, Wilson feels ready to step in and not miss a beat. With previous starts in the NFL under his belt, he thinks he can keep the ship afloat.

    “I’ve played in a lot of games in the NFL so far,” Wilson said. “It’s just the ability to step in and make the offense feel like nothing’s changed. From a leadership standpoint, just command of the huddle, getting guys the information they need on every play.”

    Learning and Growing in Miami

    Wilson didn’t play in Denver but he says it wasn’t a waste of time. He credits the Broncos’ coaches for helping him improve his game and gain a new perspective on playing quarterback.

    “They were phenomenal,” Wilson said. “It was almost a different look at playing the position. I felt like I was able to get on my feet and learn a ton of new things and felt like I was playing good ball. I’m excited to kind of find what’s next in the journey.”

    This is what Sam Darnold said about his time backing up Brock Purdy in San Francisco before landing with the Minnesota Vikings. Darnold told Sports Illustrated :

    “I just learned so much in San Francisco, not only from the coaches but from the players.”

    For Wilson, the lessons learned in Denver could be huge as he continues to try to get another chance to prove himself.

    Can Wilson Repeat Darnold’s Success?

    In Minnesota, Darnold got his chance when rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy got hurt in preseason. He led the Vikings to the playoffs and a Pro Bowl and signed a three-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks this offseason.

    Wilson hopes to do the same. Nobody knows when—or if—he’ll get that chance but he’s ready to embrace it.

    “Hopefully at some point you can get that opportunity to show what you can do,” he said.

    Only Time Will Tell

    As Wilson settles into his role with the Dolphins, his focus is on preparation and growth. Whether he gets another shot at being a starter is out of his hands (injuries, team needs, etc.) but one thing is for sure, Zach Wilson hasn’t lost faith in himself.

    “I still believe I can be a starter in this league,” he said. And until someone gives him that chance, he’ll keep working hard to make sure he’s ready when the call comes.

    For now, Wilson’s journey is a reminder that patience and perseverance often lead to second chances—and sometimes those chances come when you least expect them.
