Yes, the Jets are proud owners of some GREAT football names! Clark Gaines, Little John Flowers, bring it, we got 'em.
Erik McMilllan will always be a mystery. Incredibly talented, started out like gang busters, was killing it out there, and then inexplicably took a nose-dive and completely flamed out. It was really bizarre. He was fun to watch while it lasted.
Always a mystery (in a pre social media world) was he beset by injuries that were kept on the down low? Was in off the field or substance abuse issue? Even by year two he was getting picks but also giving up big plays. His coverage skills were never what they were rookie year
Kevin Long is in the football card I posted about Burgess. This could turn into a long prolific list. : ) Sherman Plunkett, I always got a kick out of that, because he was a tank. Aaron Beasley, I used to call him Mrs. Beasley, haha. I have a Jets 'rap' song that I posted elsewhere years ago. I should go find it. It's so stupid but great fun at the same time. In fact, I'll go hunt it down to regale you.

Please don't associate me with Phillystax. Thanks in advance. And I'm not a dude. I'm a 54 year old shemale quirky artist with an eye patch and a peg leg. Arrrrggggh.
JoJo is one my very favorite Jets player names. I've told this story before. When my former boss named her rescue dog JoJo I was all over it. "JoJo? For JoJo Townsell?!" "What?" Oh, well. JoJo Townsell is also partially responsible why I will always be tangentially in love with Mojo Jojo. And everyone knows I love monkeys.
Little John Flowers is my favorite Jet name but my favorite ever football player’s name (unfortunately never made it to the NFL out of Washington) was Sonny Sixkiller.
