Mike Westhoff joined the New York Jets in 2001 as the Special Teams Coordinator.  Since then, 6 players have returned kickoffs for 12 touchdowns.  They are Chad Morton, Jonathan Carter, Jerricho Cotchery, Justin Miller, Leon Washington and Brad Smith.  Santana Moss has returned punts for TDs, while four other Jets have blocked punts for TDs.

(This started off as a fanpost that I ended up deleting.  I wanted help with the stats, but I ended up looking them up myself and redoing the whole post.)

Others...

DB Chris Hayes (#30) returned a blocked punt for 7 yards for TD @ Carolina Panthers on October 28, 2001 in the 1st Quarter, taking the lead at 7-6.  The Jets won 13-12.

LB Jason Glenn (#56 at the time) returned a blocked punt for 4 yards for TD @ Oakland Raiders on January 6, 2002 in the 2nd Quarter, taking the lead at 14-9.  The Jets won 24-22.

DE David Bowens (#96) returned a blocked punt for 26 yards for TD @ New England on December 16, 2007 in the 2nd Quarter.  The Jets lost 10-20.

That's a total of 6 players for 12 kickoff returns for touchdowns. 

4 players each with blocked punt returns for touchdowns.

1 player with 3 punt returns for touchdowns.

As of last year, the Jets led the league with the most kickoff touchdowns during Mike's Jets tenure since 2001.  I think it's safe to say they're still a the top.  Two kick returners have represented the Jets at the Pro Bowl- Justin Miller in 2006 and Leon Washington in 2008.  The stats come from http://www.pro-football-reference.com and newyorkjets.com.  Feel free to correct any mistakes or add any tidbits of info in the comments section.
