Maccagnan was recognized by the PFWA for coming to the Jets organization in January, joining forces with first-year head coach Todd Bowles, and setting the table for the Jets' 10-6 season, their first winning record in five years and a record that marked a six-win improvement over the previous season.
"I don’t know that I went into the season with an idea of a certain number of wins or losses that was going to be a benchmark because you really don’t know what happens with injuries and stuff like that," Maccagnan said at his final news conference of the season.
