New York Jets Player of the Day: DE John Abraham

One of the most prolific pass rushers in Jets history, John Abraham made a huge mark on the team’s record books, despite playing just six seasons in New York.

The No. 13 overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft out of South Carolina, Abraham was one of four first-round selections the Jets made in that draft, joining quarterback Chad Pennington, tight end Anthony Becht and defensive end Shaun Ellis.

Abraham spent the first five years of his NFL career with the Gang Green, but would remain a productive pass rusher elsewhere throughout the rest of his time in the pros.
