On Super Bowl weekend, the long-eliminated New York Jets still managed to leave their mark.
Three former Jets are headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the trio headed by center Kevin Mawae, one of the most prominent blockers in team history. Secondary defenders Ty Law and Ed Reed will likewise join him.
Mawae, 48, joined the Jets in 1998, previously spending four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. The Louisiana State University helped provide a much-needed jolt to a sputtering Jets offense, as they jumped from 22nd in total offense to fourth upon his arrival.
