New York Jets: Most notable player to wear each number
By Cory Kinnan
31. Aaron Glenn
Drafted in 1994 by the Jets, Aaron Glenn spent his first eight seasons in the NFL in New York. He went to three Pro Bowls as a member of the Jets before heading to Houston in the expansion draft in 2002. He also spent time with Dallas, Jacksonville, and New Orleans.
As a member of the Jets, the cornerback recorded 24 interceptions and returned three for touchdowns. He ranks in the top-five to ever play the position for the gang green.
32. Emerson Boozer
The former running back played ten seasons in the league, all with the Jets. He began his career in 1966 and retired after the 1975 season, and made two Pro Bowls while in New York. He finished his NFL career with over 5,100 yards and 52 touchdowns. He ranks as the most notable player to ever wear the No. 32 in New York.
33. Jamal Adams
The fifth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Jamal Adams and current team captain is the most notable player to wear the 33 jersey in New York for the Jets. The safety out of LSU has been nothing but a reliable starter and great face for the franchise during a couple of down years.
So far, two years into his young career, Adams has frequently found himself in the opponent’s backfield despite coming from his safety spot, tallying 10 quarterback hits, 18 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks. Adams has added an additional 18 passes defended, one interception and four forced fumbles.
34. Johnny Hector
A running back for New York in the 1980s and early 90s, Johnny Hector played for the Jets for the entirety of his career. He was used prevalently as a goalline and short yardage back. Throughout his ten year career, Hector tallied only 4,280 yards rushing, but pounded the ball in the end zone an astounding 41 times. He came into the league in 1983, and retired in 1992.
35. Mike Augustyniak
Mike Augustyniak played three seasons in the NFL, all for the Jets from 1981-83 as the fullback for the team. He appeared in 27 total games throughout that span. Augustyniak finished his short lived career with a total of 567 yards rushing and seven touchdowns.
