    I noted Richard Wood as one of the USC players who played for the Jets. The Jets drafted him in 1975 and then traded him to the expansion Buccaneers four days before the season opening Sunday in 1976.
    His career is amazing just for how much winning he was involved in at USC and how much losing he had to endure early in his NFL career.

    Wood played for two national championship teams at Southern California (1972 and 1974) and then he played for some garbage NFL teams for a few seasons before the Buccaneers started to be good in 1979 and hosted the NFC Championship Game.

    1971 USC: 6-4-1
    1972 USC: 12-0-0
    1973 USC: 9-2-1
    1974 USC: 10-1-1

    1975 Jets: 3-11
    1976 Bucs: 0-14
    1977 Bucs: 2-12
    1978 Bucs: 5-11

    Isn't it a bit early to be putting Sanchez on that list? Or McKnight for that matter?

    Oh, didn't realize you meant this to be about guys who were drafted by the Jets. Obviously, quite a few of the players I mentioned above came to the Jets in trades or as free agents.

    as far as good players mcknight doesn't belong on this list at alll.

    Sanchez however needs to go on the list. whether he is good or bad it doesn't matter, our future is tied to the kid for the next half decade, minimum.

    I guess sanchez goes in the "notable picks from USC" department as opposed to good just yet.

    Maryland -

    Kris Jenkins, James Farrior and LaMont Jordan, all from the same team. Not as good as the Pitt class, but not bad either.

    But it's not too early to put Patrick Turner (2 day Jet) or Chauncey Washington (not even on team anymore)?

    To play WR at that school you need to be at least 6'5" as this guarantees you'll be an excellent WR regardless of any actual talent or ability to play football.

    I was merely addressing the guys he mentioned. Obviously the only guy i mentioned who belongs on the "good" list would be Keyshawn.
