Sometimes a random Jet will pop into my head and I want to talk about him.
"Mickens was drafted in the third-round by the New York Jets in the 1996 NFL draft. He played for the Jets from 1996 to 2004. Mickens only sat out two games in his first eight NFL seasons before missing the 2004 season because of a torn ACL. He built a reputation as one of the top nickel backs in the NFL and also a very capable starter. He played in 126 games with 36 starts over the course of his first eight seasons while registering 365 tackles, 79 passes defended, 11 INT, four forced fumbles and six sacks. "
Loved this era of Jets football. Aaron Glenn, Shaun Ellis, Mo Lewis, John Abraham, Victor Green, Marcus Coleman, Marvin Jones. This was the team I grew up with. Quite a few winning seasons in the late 90s/early 2000s

Ray Mickens was a DOG. Great post
Loved Mickens. His kid is at Clemson I think. I’ll obviously be hoping the Jets draft him with no knowledge of his play style or ability.
