New York Jets: Most notable player to wear each number

96. Muhammad Wilkerson

The Jets’ first round pick in 2011, Muhammad Wilkerson played his first seven seasons in the NFL in New York. This past offseason, Wilkerson signed with the Packers on a one-year deal and is currently a free agent again this offseason. In his seven season in New York, Wilkerson was named to one Pro Bowl in 2016. The defensive tackle tallied 44.5 sacks and 71 tackles for loss during his time with the Jets as well.

97. Calvin Pace

After spending his first five seasons in Arizona with the Cardinals, Calvin Pace signed with the Jets, and spent the remaining eight years of his career in New York. During his time with the Jets, Pace recorded 46 sacks from his edge rushing position, and added 65 tackles for loss and an addition 67 quarterback pressures. He also forced 16 fumbles while wearing the gang green.

98. Quinton Coples

The first round selection by the Jets in 2012, Quinton Coples’ status with the team quickly flamed out. While not as big of a bust as Ghoston, Coples did not give New York nearly the production they were looking for when they selected him. After three and a half years with the Jets, he played only six games in Miami and has not seen a regular season snap since after being cut by the Rams in the offseason.

In those three and a half years in New York, Coples managed to put together 16.5 sacks and 30 tackles for loss. While the talent was there, it was not enough to cover the multitude of sins with his attitude and off the field headaches.

99. Jason Taylor

Last but not least, Hall of Famer Jason Taylor. Inducted into Canton two years ago, the long-time Miami Dolphin pass rusher played one season in New York in 2010 before returning to Miami for one final season and retiring in 2011. Taylor also made a yearlong pit stop in Washington in 2008 as well.

In his one season with the Jets, Taylor recorded five sacks, two forced fumbles, and eight tackles for loss in five games started and appearing in all 16. Not bad at all for a defensive end who was 36 years old at the time.
