QUARTERBACK Zach Wilson rose to prominence when he was drafted by the NFL.
After attending many of her son’s games, Lisa Neeleman Wilson also gained a following.
Lisa Neeleman Wilson is a social media influencer and health enthusiast.
She promotes her wellness recipes, fitness regimens, and retreats on her Instagram page, lifeaccording2lisa, where she has 159,000 followers.
She is also the owner of the clothing line Live Life Legit.
Zach Wilson is only one of Lisa’s six children. She has three more sons and two daughters.
Lisa married Mike Wilson on March 8, 1997.
After walking down the aisle, the two welcomed six kids together.
Similar to Lisa, Mike is also supportive of Zach’s NFL career.
Time and time again, the couple were seen together at Jets games.
Following the 2021 NFL Draft, Lisa went viral when it was announced Zach was drafted by the New York Jets.
Twitter, now known as X, erupted with questions about Lisa’s identity, as some assumed that she was Zach’s girlfriend and not his mom.
Users began complimenting Lisa after spotting her on the broadcast, with one writing, “Zach Wilson’s mom is the real MVP of this draft so far.”
“Welcome to New York, Zach Wilson’s mom,” another added.
A third chimed in, “When I first saw her, I thought that’s nice that his girlfriend is there for him.”
On July 10, 2022, Lisa started trending again due to claims made by Zach’s ex-girlfriend Abbey Gile.
Abbey accused Zach of cheating on her with one of Lisa’s friends.
At the time, Lisa did not respond to Abbey’s claims but said to her newer followers, “Alright, so I’ve got a lot of new people on here, I’m glad to have you.
“Whatever reason brought you here, whatever negative dark energy because you were searching for somebody that would be sad and in pain, I’m glad you’re here.
“Whatever got you here, I don’t really care. If you’re just so dark and angry, you’re gonna eventually leave because people like me will bug the s*** out of you.”
She added, “If you’re willing to type something out and send it into the universe, there are repercussions.
“Think before you send something out. You never know who may be reading it.”
Zach was born in Draper, Utah, on August 3, 1999.
The 24-year-old football quarterback was the second overall pick by the Jets during the 2021 NFL Draft.
He previously played college football at Brigham Young University (BYU).
On Monday, April 22, 2024, Zach was traded to the Denver Broncos after three seasons with the Jets from 2021 to 2024.
As the New York Post reported, during his time with the Jets, the athlete “completed 57 percent (566-of-993) of his passes for 6,293 yards, 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.”
He also “rushed for 498 yards and five touchdowns and had 17 fumbles, 12 of which were lost.”
