Fatukasi, who turned 29 today, is a former Jets draft pick. He was taken by his hometown team in the sixth round of the 2018 draft. The Queens native played four seasons with the Jets and developed into one of the league’s best run-stopping defensive tackles. His ascension culminated in a three-year, $30 million contract with Jacksonville in 2022.
