Jets Flight Numbers 81-90

Continuing with the current roster, as well as some players who have previously worn the numbers, going as far back as I feel like it (pretty much around the early 1990s), as well as some notables (according to me, anyway).

Here are numbers 1-10,

11-20,

21-30,

31-40,

41-50,

51-60,

Once a Jet, always a Jet.
