Two ex-Jets earn Pro Football HOF modern-era nomination in 1st year of eligibility

It’s that time of year again.

On Wednesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame revealed the list of modern-era nominees for the Class of 2022. In total, there are 122 players, including 10 who are in their first year of eligibility.

Among those 10 individuals are two former Jets — center Nick Mangold and cornerback Antonio Cromartie.

Mangold played his entire 11-year career with the Jets following the team’s draft selection of him in the 2006 first round. He was a seven-time Pro Bowler, two-time first-team All Pro, and played (and started) in 164 games.
