NY Jets’ legend Marty Lyons recently sat down to talk with us about his new book.

The NY Jets are in the midst of a very difficult 2020 season. Given the team’s struggles, many fans would likely love to take a trip back in time and remember more promising times for the franchise.

And aside from the famed days of Joe Namath, there is perhaps no more fondly-remembered time in Jets history than the legendary New York Sack Exchange era.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the fearsome foursome of Joe Klecko, Mark Gastineau, Marty Lyons, and Abdul Salaam wreaked havoc on opposing offensive lines establishing themselves as one of the premier defensive fronts in NFL history.
