Testaverde played for seven teams throughout the course of his 21-year NFL career, but most of his success came in his seven years playing for the team he grew up rooting for.

The Brooklyn native turned in arguably the best season of his career with the Jets in 1998, earning one of his two career Pro Bowl appearances and leading New York to the AFC Championship game with a 12-1 record as a starter. He also led Gang Green to the postseason in 20021 and 2002.

In his two stints with the Jets (1998-2003, 2005), Testaverde threw for 12,497 yards, 77 touchdowns and only 58 interceptions.
