MetLife Central Presents: Autographed Mark Gastineau Helmet Giveaway

The 2010-11 New York Jets have currently recorded 27 sacks, and are on pace to pull in 36 this season. Imagine this, former Jets All-Pro DE Mark Gastineau did it 74 times, in only 10 seasons. That's a NY Jets record that likely won't be broken any time soon.

Gastineau was the member of the Jets' vaunted defensive front, otherwise known as the "New York Sack Exchange." Gastineau, Joe Klecko, Marty Lyons and Abdul Salaam comprised this unit, and combined for 66 sacks in 1981.

In 1984, Gastineau recorded 22 sacks en route to being named Defensive Player of the Year. This record stood for 17 seasons, until New York Giant Michael Strahan broke it in 2001.

One things for sure: he could get after the quarterback, and he could dance. Damn, he could dance.
