Since retiring from the NFL, Nick Mangold has been somewhat of an ambassador for the New York Jets. Whether it’s offering his services to assist the team as a coach, playing realtor to Aaron Rodgers (and Derek Carr), or serving as an advertising spokesperson, Mangold has turned into a living legend for Jets fans. He’s also been extending the olive branch to one of the Jets’ latest draft picks.
In the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Jets selected Wisconsin offensive lineman Joe Tippmann. Tippmann is an incredibly high-IQ center who plays past the whistle with incredible effort.
