In 1998, Kevin Mawae inked a five-year, $17 million deal with the Jets, making him the highest-paid center in NFL history at the time.

One of the most dominant centers of his time, Mawae was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2019.

Mawae made the Pro Bowl six times in six consecutive seasons for Gang Green from 1998-2004. He anchored the Jets offensive line that made multiple playoff appearances and helped push Curtis Martin to stardom. He is a member of the Jets’ Ring of Honor.
