Why even attempt to put together a “greatest New York Jets” of all-time? We all know the usual suspects and who comes out as the top dog of them all.
Though a great case can be made Don Maynard Should rank No. 1, it’s Joe Willie Namath who still holds the crown. That Super Bowl 3 moment was just too spectacular and meaningful for the game of football to ignore.
So forget greatest of all-time. Let’s move on to the heart, instead, with the most “beloved” Jets in organizational history.
- Freeman McNeil
- Don Maynard
- Matt Snell
- Vinny Testaverde
- Chad Pennington
- Ken O’Brien
- Al Toon
- Mo Lewis
- Dennis Byrd
- Kevin Mawae
- Emerson Boozer
- Gerry Philbin
- Larry Grantham
- Darrelle Revis
It’s extremely awkward to leave names such as Don Maynard, Freeman McNeil and Al Toon off the list, but hey, there are only seven spots.
