The Jets have selected sixth overall four times in franchise history. In 1971, they used the pick on running back John Riggins. In 1974, the Jets selected defensive lineman Carl Barzilauskas sixth overall. In 1976, quaterback Richard Todd went sixth to the Jets. It would be over three decades until the Jets would pick sixth again. In 2008, the Jets owned the sixth pick and used it on the gentleman listed above.
