Tooooooooon! to be fair I've never seen WW play but Toon was one of the guys that made me fall in love with the game. I got into football because of him Jeff Lageman, Dennis Byrd and Kyle Clifton on the 90 team where there wasn't much to love. Toon was the third most graceful athlete I've seen on any sport after Rice and Zidane. If not for the concussions and the crap teams he was on he would've been a surefire hall of famer. The early/mid 80s teams w/ both Walker (and then Toon at the end) were a lot better. Made the playoffs 4 times in 6 years. Those Lageman/Byrd/Clifton teams were pretty horrible. Basically the team was terrible from '87 - '97. The dark days. Almost as bad as now (the last 7/8 years)! ( They were really bad but hey I didn't know any better. I was fresh off the boat and the first time I saw American football was the 90 opener against the Bengals. Looking back maybe I should've picked the jints but I just have a thing about hating blue teams so I was stuck walking around manhattan looking like a christmas tree with a bright green Starter jacket and getting made fun of all the time. I'm just glad I didn't speak enough english to understand the shots they took at me, at least initally.

Wesley Walker is my favorite Jet ever. Hell he's probably my 2nd favorite football player behind..wait for it... Steve Atwater. Yes I know... he was one of us but he's known as a bronco. Atwater is my favorite Razorback and favorite player of all time. But... WW is the ultimate Jet. I have a personally signed rookie card of him. Its golden to me.

When I think of some of the Jets, these two gents included, that wasted their talents here at individual positions over the years, but were never part of a complete winning team.. it kills me. Saw Wesley at an airport once but didnt want to bother him. It was like seeing God.
