But the tale of the Jets extends beyond wins and losses. It's about the iconic figures who donned the green and white, forever leaving their mark on the franchise and the sport. We'll journey through the careers of legends like "Broadway" Joe Namath, the charismatic quarterback whose swagger redefined confidence; Don Maynard, the "Jets Rocket" whose blazing speed left defenders in his dust; and the dynamic duo of Curtis Martin and Wayne Chrebet, who embodied resilience and grit.

We'll explore the rivalries that fuel the fire, the coaches who shaped their identity, and the unforgettable moments cemented their place in football history. We'll delve into the passionate fan base known for their unwavering support and "J-E-T-S! Jets! Jets!" chants that echo through MetLife Stadium.



This series isn't just about celebrating victories; it's about understanding the struggles, the near misses, and the moments that define a team's spirit. We'll uncover the lesser-known heroes, the impactful trades, and the draft-day steals that contributed to the Jets' unique tapestry.

  • Joe Namath Born May 31, 1943, in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, was Joe Namath the 4 time AFL All-Star, 1 time NFL Pro Bowl and Pro Football Hall of Fame Quarterback for the New York Jets and  Los Angeles Rams. Joe was the MVP of Super Bowl III where he predicted a victory for his heavy underdog Jets and lived up to his promise in a 16-7 stunner over the powerful Baltimore Colts. This win and his larger than life personality made him quite popular in the Big Apple, where they called him "Broadway Joe." Namath played his college ball under Head Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant at the University of Alabama. Namath was the first in Pro Football history to toss for more than 4,000 yards in a one season. The 1968 AFL Player of the Year threw three TD strikes to lead the Jets to victory in the 1968 AFL Championship Game. For his career he threw for 27,663 yards and 173 touchdowns. One item of historic importance concerning Namath may often be over looked but when New York's AFL franchise signed Joe to a $400,000 contract it gave the young American Football League its first victory against the established NFL showing that they could compete for players coming out of college. - 2023-05-31 - Go to Page ► -TOC
