The New York Jets used one of four (not a typo) first-round draft picks on Shaun Ellis in the 2000 NFL Draft.
That ended up being a historic draft for many reasons, but certainly set the tone for the 21st-century green and white:
- Shaun Ellis (12th overall pick)
- John Abraham (13th overall pick)
- Chad Pennington (18th overall pick)
- Anthony Becht (27th overall pick)
MeShaunda Pizarrur Ellis, nicknamed ‘Shaun’ also went by ‘Big Katt’ finished as a two-time Pro Bowler (2003, 2009). One of the true fan favorites of Jets fans.
