Thomas Jones | Vinny Testaverde |
RB | QB |
2007–2009 | 1998–2003, 2009 |
Pro-Bowler (2008). Cleared 1,100, 1,300, and 1,400 yards rushing in his three seasons, accounting for the fourth-, sixth-, and 11th- best rushing seasons in team history. While that makes him seventh in total rushing yards in team history, his per-carry average was higher than all but two guys ahead of him. He was also totally stingy, fumbling only six times in 931 Jetly carries. | Pro-Bowler (1998). Seventh in voting for AP Offensive Player of the Year (1998). Two-time third-place finisher for AP Comeback Player of the Year (1998, 2000). Holds team records or most fourth-quarter comeback wins in a single season (5, 2001), and most game- winning drives in a single season (also 5, also 2001), which I guess kind of makes him the Jets' Roger Staubach. Won one Jets post- season game at quarterback and led the team in the famed "Monday Night Miracle" win, coming back from 30–7 in the fourth quarter of a 2000 game against Miami, to win 40–37. |
Acting under the name Thomas Q. Jones, his credits include 2015's Straight Outta Compton and a recurring role in the Luke Cage series, making him perhaps the only Jet that is part of the Marvel universe. | Has thrown for more yards and touchdowns in the NFL than any other eligible quarterback who is not in the Hall of Fame. This may be a mixed distinction, but it's his. |

All-Time Greatest Jet: Thomas Jones vs. Vinny Testaverde
Two journeymen players who came to the Jets late in their careers but surprisingly gave New York some of their best football.
