Good day Jets fans!!!!!!!
This was a Giant day in Jets history.....
1963... The team hires Weeb Eubank..... and his coaching brought the Jets a Superbowl.... not just for the Jets but for the entire AFL.
Also, owner, Sonny Werblin, changed the teams name from Titans to the Jets. 52 years ago today.
The name we all love so much.
Thanks Weeb and Sonny.
You will always be remembered....
Have a great day Jets fans!!!! |

Also, on this date in 2000, the Jets became the first and only team ever to make four picks in the first round of the NFL Draft: 12th pick: Shaun Ellis, DT, Tennessee  13th Pick: John Abraham, DE, South Carolina  18th Pick: Chad Pennington, QB, Marshall  27th Pick: Anthony Becht, TE, W Virginia ![]() ![]()  |

Anthony Becht lol...unreal.
That was probably the best Jet draft in their history.

And even though we didn't draft him, Thomas Jones went in the first round to the Cardinals. Although NE kind of beat everyone in that draft when they picked Brady in the 6th. |
