OTDE–DT–NT
2006–20151979–1989
Three-time Pro-Bowler (2009–2011). PFWA
NFL All-Rookie Team (2006). One of four Jets
offensive tackles to be named an NFL or AFL
all-star. Never missed a game or start from
2006-2015, appearing in 160 regular season
games plus seven playoff matchups. New
York Jets Ring of Honor (2022).
Tenth all-time in sacks by a Jet. Member of
the New York Sack Exchange. Only Jet with
two career safeties. NFL Man of the Year
Award (later renamed in honor of Walter
Payton), honoring a player's commitment
to philanthropy and community impact, as
well as his excellence on the field (1984).
New York Jets Ring of Honor (2013).
Apparently named after Father Ralph de
Bricassart, the problematically dreamy priest
character in The Thorn Birds. This is a
fact made even more awkward when he
earned his degree in religious studies.
Involved in one of the most famous penalties
(mis-attributed to Mark Gastineau at the
time) in NFL history when he gave Jim Kelly
"the business down there."
