Boozer and Thomas--talk about extremes. Boozer was one of the handful of Super Bowl Jets that I actually saw play at the end of his career.
I am away so I don't have all mylinks to work w/, I really wanted to find a Nuu Faaola but couldn't. 30 Brad Baxter Chris Hayes
Nice. I was fully expecting Brad Baxter and Chris Hayes, forgot completely about Nuu Faaola. One of the cooler names in Jet history, special teams demon on the 1986 playoff team. I was hoping he'd turn into another Mosi Tatupu but it never happened.
Finally inside a month! Thanks Junc and others for keeping this thing going with some older guys a lot of us never heard of. A bit of a Jets history lesson.

I liked Murrell from the time he came in as a rookie, even though he was behind Blair Thomas and Johnny Johnson at the time. He later became the first guy to get 1,000 yards for a 1-15 team. I see a lot of Murrell in Leon Washington, aside from just the number. Johnny Lynn was a decent DB, kind of the third guy behind Bobby Jackson and Jerry Holmes. He bolted for the USFL at one point and then came back.
28 Curtis Martin I am disappointed I culdn't find carl Howard or Pat Chaffey, a qucik trivia question. How did Pat Chaffey's career end?
I wanted to add a couple of my favorite Curtis Martin photos to today's countdown. Thanks Curtis. You are a true professional.
