New York Jets Player of the Day: S Victor Green

A versatile defender who could make plays at every level of the field, Victor Green was a tackling machine for the Jets, spending nine of his 11 NFL seasons with the Gang Green.

Signed as an undrafted free agent in 1993 out of Akron, Green would turn out to be one of the best players in franchise history that fell through the cracks of the NFL draft.

After spending his first two seasons as mostly a reserve and special-teamer, Green cracked the starting lineup in 1995 and never looked back. He topped 100 tackles in five of the next seasons, including a career-high and league-leading 165 stops in 1996.
