Joe Namath, Don Maynard, Darrelle Revis, Joe Klecko, Larry Grantham—men who represent the greatest at each’s respective position pertaining to New York Jets history.
Others can be argued, such as Curtis Martin over Freeman McNeil at running back, Mickey Shuler over Rich Caster at tight end, and Winston Hill over Nick Mangold along the offensive line, but the previous four are bonafide and cemented as the best at each’s spot in franchise history.
Through mentioning a handful of players, most offensive and defensive spots have been covered. We have our quarterback (Namath), running back (Martin or McNeil), wide receiver (Maynard), tight end (Shuler or Caster), offensive line (Hill or Mangold), defensive line (Klecko … sorry, Gerry Philbin), linebacker (Grantham) and cornerback (Revis).
