I pass the street named after him in Freeport at least once a week, always notice it and always am proud.

Very under appreciated player. Years ago when everyone was bitching about him not being Orlando Pace 2.0, I knew everyone would miss him like hell when he was finally gone. Dude never missed a game in 10 years and was one of the better passblocking LT’s in the league for 8 of them. Only missed a single snap and it was at the very end of a game against the Jags where Mangini took him off the field for a desperation trick play. Great Jet and a true ironman |

The fact that he was as underappreciated as he was by Jet fans shows just how ignorant fans really are.

Truly overlooked both professionally and by fans alike. Baffling to me he was never an All-Pro.

Great Jet and a true ironman I was at Jet training camp his rookie year back on LI and he came over and said hello to the fans. Seemed like a real good dude. He was also a really solid player. Plugged him at LT and didn't worry about it for 10 years or so. He's definitely missed. Goes to show that you build w/ top OL. |

I put him with some of the great players whose careers this organization chewed up and spit out. Glad to see he's healthy and still a good guy. |
