Nick Mangold, a legendary player in the history of the New York Jets, has died suddenly from complications of kidney disease, the team announced Sunday.
Mangold, 41, played his entire NFL career with New York from 2006-2016. He was inducted into the team's Ring of Honor in 2022 as one of the greatest centers of all time.
Two weeks ago, Mangold revealed he was looking for a kidney donor.
He said in a letter to the Jets community that he was diagnosed with a genetic defect in 2006, which led to his chronic kidney disease.
