All-Time Greatest Jet: John Abraham vs Curley Johnson

[Edgy MD]

John Abraham	Curley Johnson
DE	P–RB–TE
2000–2005	1961–1968
First-Team All-Pro (2001). Three-time Pro-Bowler (2001, 2002, 2004). NFL forced fumbles co-leader (2001). Averaged 8.9 sacks per game over six Jetly seasons. Tied Gastineau and Klecko's record with four sacks in a single game. Second all-time in forced fumbles by a Jet with 19.	Super Bowl III champion. Pro-Bowler (1965). Once nailed a 79-yard punt. Set a franchise record in 1965, with a 45.8-yard punting average, that wouldn’t be broken until 2012. His final punt for the Jets was the Jets' final play of Super Bowl III.
The only (I presume) Dallas Texan/New York Titan/ New York Jet/New York Giant. Having come from a broken home and been raised by his grandmother, he reached out and brought his three nephews into his home when their family broke up.	As late as 1997 wrote to then-owner Leon Hess about asking about doing some scouting for the team: "Coach Ewbank once told me you never get football out of your blood. I know now what he meant. I miss being part of the Jets and would love to do my part to help get us back to our Super Bowl days."

A punter/running back/tight end, as well as a Texan/Titan/Jet/Giant. That's a unique profile no matter how you cut it.

I'm throwing my vote to Curley.

I'm ignorant of Jet history but why is Curley in a red jersey?

[Edgy MD]

I'm gathering that was the look he rocked as a Dallas Texan. They would later morph into the Kansas City Chiefs, who continue to wear the color today.

Curley would morph into a Titan and, together with the rest of his team, from a Titan to a Jet.

I do remember Curly and am voting with the AFL
