• ❗️Denotes a previous NFL record

Joe Namath and Don Maynard lead the way; it’s as obvious as anything when the New York Jets player records are mentioned.

Namath leads the New York Jets in nearly every all-time passing record—other than one. Ryan Fitzpatrick’s 31 touchdowns in 2015 stand as the franchise’s single-season record. It stands out as one of the more interesting records, considering Fitzpatrick’s polarizing nature among the fanbase.

The previously mentioned Maynard isn’t just the greatest wide receiver in Jets history but also one of the greatest in NFL history. Besides some of the modern records, controlled by Brandon Marshall, who, much like Fitzpatrick, had two extra games to play with, Maynard owns the receiving categories.

None other than Curtis Martin is the man to complete the all-time triplets trio, as his eight seasons in New York put him atop most of the all-time rushing categories.

Quinnen Williams now 17th on Jets’ all-time sack list

Courtesy of a strong outing in Week 18 against Bill Belichick, Quinnen Williams upped his career sack total to 33. This places him 17th on the team’s all-time list.

Williams is only a half-sack behind Bryan Thomas and 1.5 sacks behind Jeff Lageman.

C.J. Mosley’s 287 solo tackles ranks him 20th on Jets’ all-time list

In just 52 games, New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley racked up 287 solo tackles, placing him 20th on the franchise’s all-time list.

Garrett Wilson is 28th on Jets’ all-time receiving leaderboard

Collecting 2,145 receiving yards in just two seasons, New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson is now 28th in franchise history (all-time receiving yards).

Wilson needs just 39 yards to pass Eric Decker for 27th, and he’s already passed Santonio Holmes, who finished his Jets career with 2,128 receiving yards.

Breece Hall now 21st on Jets’ all-time rushing list

After his workhorse day in Week 18 against the New England Patriots, Breece Hall now sits 21st on the New York Jets’ all-time rushing list.

Hall’s 1,457 rushing yards in two seasons nestles him in between former Jets’ Johnny Johnson and LaMont Jordan.

The New York Jets all-time leaders in the passing department are pretty damn singular. Joe Namath is the Jets’ all-time leader in nearly every passing category.

Namath’s 27,057 career passing yards are nearly 3,000 clear of Ken O’Brien—in spite of playing in a tougher era for quarterbacks—and his 170 career passing touchdowns trump O’Brien’s 124.

As tough as nails, wide receiver Don Maynard is often argued for as the New York Jets’ greatest all-time player. Although it’s tough to dismiss Namath’s overall importance to the franchise—and to the NFL as a whole—pound for pound, Maynard may just be that guy.

Don Maynard racked up an incredible 11,732 receiving yards for the Jets, representing the NFL’s all-time mark for quite some time.

Behind No. 13 are Wesley Walker, Wayne Chrebet, and the incomparable Al Toon.

Discussing the tackles category is tricky in football for one apparent reason: Tackles were not always so stringently tallied.

Regarding solo tackles, maniac linebacker Kyle Clifton is the Jets’ all-time leader with 1,468.

Similar to tackles, sacks are another incredibly difficult stat to track. Because the statistic did not become official until 1982, Jets’ great and recent Hall of Fame inductee Joe Klecko got screwed.

Fortunately, our sack list includes the unofficial number that counts sacks pre-1982, which puts Mark Gastineau at 107.5 and Klecko at 78.

While we know Darrelle Revis is the New York Jets’ greatest defensive back in history, Bill Baird leads the interception category with 34 all-time thefts. Baird’s running mate, Dainard Paulson, ranks second with 29.

Remember, the high-flying 1960s of AFL football featured a ton of passing yardage and turnovers. It’s why guys like Baird and Paulson lead the way here and why Joe Namath and others in his era piled up the interceptions thrown.

Revis’s 112 pass deflections are by far the most in the Jets’ history.
