Newsday's Jet of the Year (reader poll), 1995. Dennis Byrd Award for Most Inspirational Player (teammate poll), 1996. New York Jets "Unsung Hero Award", 1997. Thurman Munson Award for his outstanding efforts on an off the field and in serving in the community, 2000. New York Jets Alumni Association's "Jets Player of the Year," 2001.

When he first reported to camp, walking as the 11th out of 11 wideouts on the depth chart, out of a dying football program at Hofstra, the security guard tried to send him home because he didn't look like a football player, despite being the star player on that very same campus the previous three seasons. Along with teammate Joe Klecko and writer Greg Logan, authored Nose to Nose: Survival in the Trenches of the NFL.

Chrebet is a great story, and fan favorite and all-around nice guy. But if this contest is about greatness ON the field, nice guys finish last. Later

I voted for Fields, but I'm possibly regretting it. This thread demands action.

Vote changing was already allowed in this one. Considering that 4-6 votes is the standard in these threads, a single changed vote has a meaningfully high likelihood of swinging an outcome. I really don't know what the answer to this one is. Chrebet was the higher seed, but I think I gave Fieldy the edge based on his two additional seasons.
