Who are the 5 best Jets players from the New York and New Jersey area?

Jets Wire takes a look at five of the best players in franchise history from the New York and New Jersey area.

Ken O’Brien

O’Brien played his high school and college football in California, but when the Jets selected him in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft, it marked a homecoming for the Rockville Centre, New York native.

O’Brien never lit the world on fire in his nine years with the Jets, but he had some standout seasons with New York. In only his second season in the NFL, O’Brien led the league in passer rating, won the AFC Player of the Year award and earned one of his two Pro Bowl selections. His second Pro Bowl appearance came in 1991.

From 1984-1992, O’Brien amassed 24,386 passing yards and 128 touchdowns to only 98 interceptions with the Jets, making him one of the better quarterbacks in franchise history.
