Jets X-Factor wishes a happy Father’s Day to all the green-clad dads in the metropolitan area and beyond.
In celebration, we look back on some of the rare father/son duos that have donned the green and white over the last six decades.
The Mackeys
Dee (1963-65) and Kyle (1989)
Unlike some of the other entries below, the Texas-based Mackeys both actually played for the New York Jets on the field.
Dee, a tight end, was originally chosen by Boston in the second round of the 1960 AFL Draft out of East Texas State (now Texas A&M-Commerce) but opted to remain with the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers instead.
