On Sunday, October 26th, the world lost a lot. It lost a kind soul. It lost a community leader. It lost a father. It lost a husband. It lost a son. It lost a hero. And it lost it all in the form of one man, Nicholas Allan Mangold.

To those reading this, you likely know him better as Nick Mangold. And you likely remember him from his time as the New York Jets' starting center from 2006 to 2016.

After dominating at Ohio State University, he was selected 29th overall in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Jets.
