5 things to know about new Jets Hall of Famer Winston Hill

Five things to know about the Jets’ new Hall of Famer Winston Hill, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Wednesday.

Team History

Winston Hill holds the Jets’ franchise record for offensive linemen with 195 consecutive games played and 174 consecutive starts. That happened despite breaking a leg in the 1965 preseason and having his throat stepped on in 1974.

In the Jets’ inaugural Ring of Honor Class of 2010, Hill, along with Joe Namath, Don Maynard, Joe Klecko, Curtis Martin and Weeb Ewbank, were forever remembered in Jets’ history.

As part of the 2020 Centennial Hall of Fame Class, Hill will join Jets Namath, Maynard, Martin, Ewbank and Kevin Mawae in Canton.
