5. DL Mike DeVito, 2007
DeVito was with the Jets for six years, although he
only started one game in his first three seasons. Over the last three, he
developed into one of the best run stuffers in the NFL, starting 40 games,
including three in the postseason. DeVito only had 3.5 sacks with the Jets -
including 1 in the playoffs - but 1 of those sacks forced a fumble that
Muhammad Wilkerson returned for a touchdown in Seattle.
4. WR Robby Anderson, 2016
Anderson averaged 52 catches for 764 yards and 4
touchdowns in his 4 seasons as a Jet. Statistically, 2017 was his best year
with career-bests of 63 catches, 941 yards and seven touchdowns. He eclipsed
1,000 yards his first year in Carolina but only scored 3 TDs. Drop rate
increased from 2% to 6.4%
3. NT Damon Harrison, 2012
"Snacks" barely played in his rookie season
after having had a mountain to climb just to make the roster. Over the next
three seasons, he started every game and was arguably the best run defender in
the NFL. He's since been an All-Pro with the Giants and had a career high 3.5
sacks with the Lions.
2. G Brandon Moore, 2002
Moore is the only player on this list to go to a Pro Bowl
as a Jet, which he achieved in 2011. "Meat" saw time in NFL Europe and
the Arena League before making the roster in his second season and becoming a
starter in year three. In his last eight seasons, Moore started all 128 games.
1. WR Wayne Chrebet, 1995
Chrebet is the ultimate underdog story, having
started off as a bright spot on some poor teams before becoming a clutch
performer for 4 playoff teams. He remains 2nd in team history for receptions
and 3rd for receiving yards and touchdown catches. The Jets put Chrebet into the
Ring of Honor in 2014.
