Former New York Jets receiver Wayne Chrebet and Jets X-Factor co-founder/editor Robby Sabo used the latest episode of The Underdog Jets Podcast, released on Tuesday, to pay tribute to the late, great Don Maynard.
The most prolific receiver in Jets history passed away from complications from dementia at the age of 86 on Monday.
Maynard remains the Jets’ all-time leader in receptions, yardage and touchdowns, and served as a professional football trailblazer as the first man to reach 10,000 all-time receiving yards.
Chrebet, another staple in the aerial chapters of the Jets’ record books, had the privilege of getting to know Maynard through several shared encounters during New York-based ceremonies.
