    Sad news, just read it elsewhere on-line. Seen some old footage and Don and Broadway Joe certainly had a great chemistry.

    Lost my dad a few months ago at the same age. RIP Don and thoughts with all affected.

    Never forget...RIP Don Maynard. Thanks for bringing us that one SB ring and being a great Jet. Especially with that incredible play in AFC championship game

    Damn. R.I.P to a legend

    I always remember Joe saying the most important play of sb3 was a long incomplete to Maynard. It backed the colts defense up the rest of the game.

    I'm almost his age and saw him play many games. He was just a terrific ballplayer. One of the best ever.

    RIP Don. He was a great player and teammate. I was hoping that he could live long enough to see the Jets return to glory, but alas, it wasn't to be. In the 2022 season the team should wear a helmet decal or shoulder patch or something and dedicate itself to honoring Maynard's memory.

    I didn't have the pleasure of being alive to watch this all-time great during his amazing career but I definitely was grateful to watch him play despite It. Power of the internet.

    RIP Maynard
